Can’t change AirPods name or which ear does what

My AirPods connect to my iPad perfectly and they work great too but they won’t let me change the AirPods name or which ear does what. I know I have to go to settings, then Bluetooth and click the “i” and it theoretically should pop up but it doesn’t. It only displays “Disconnect” and “Forget This Network”. My iPad is fully updated to 12.3.1.
