Hi JacobFerrell3,

For help with connecting a controller to your MacBook have you tried first unpairing it from your iPhone? If so, test the steps below found in the article here: Connect a wireless game controller to your Apple device

"If the controller doesn't connect or work as expected

Support for specific buttons and features, such as a controller's audio jack or lights, varies by controller and the app you're using with it.

• Install the latest software updates—both for your Apple device and the controller. If a software (firmware) update is available for the controller, get it from the maker of the controller.
• In Bluetooth settings, select the contoller or the info button  (if present) next to its name, then select Forget This Device. Connect the controller again.
• Reduce the number of Bluetooth devices connected to your Apple device. This can also help with connection issues related to wireless interference. Apple TV 4K and Apple TV HD support up to four Bluetooth game controllers at the same time, or one controller when Apple TV is also using a Bluetooth audio accessory. The limit for other Apple devices varies based on your specific setup and wireless environment.
• To charge your controller, use the charging solution included with your controller or recommended by the controller manufacturer."

If the issue continues, as recommended in the article reach out to Apple Support directly to further assist.
