Only left airpods work, ear fit test not detecting

I've finally got my airpods to reconnect to my iphone - reset it - but now it says "place airpods in both ears" when I try the ear fit test - but they are in both ears!! Also only the left airpods work (which is why I went through the reset process )

iPhone 6, iOS 11
