Hi there FIX_evans_AIRPODS,
We understand you're seeing an alert that these are not your AirPods when trying to pair them to your iPhone.
It looks like you've already reviewed How to reset your AirPods and AirPods Pro.
Do you have more than one set of the same model of AirPods? If so, check to ensure the earbuds are properly paired with their original set.
Also, check to make sure your iPhone is up to date: Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
Once your iPhone is updated, try pairing your AirPods again: Connect your AirPods and AirPods Pro to your iPhone
We hope this helps.
