Apple TV 4K remote and Bose Solo Soundbar Control

I have an Apple TV 4K and want to control my Bose solo sound bar II with the Apple remote. The Apple remote does not automatically control the sound bar so you are supposed to go into the settings under remotes and devices and then under volume control and choose learn new device. From there it will ask you to point the Bose remote at the Apple TV, and push the volume up button, then the volume down button than the mute button. Once you’ve done this, the remote should be configured properly to control your Apple TV and your Bose sound bar. However, this does not work for me when I point the Bose remote at the AppleTV and push volume up button nothing happens it’s like it doesn’t see it and I can’t go any further . This is not a normal configuration issue. There is some kind of glitch and I’m looking for a solution.
