How do I get an A2DP driver to connect JBL Live Pro 2TWS earbuds to Macbook Pro?

Trying and trying to connect my JBL Live Pro 2TWS earbuds to Macbook Pro but they won't show up in Bluetooth system settings. Tried contacting JBL Support and they said I need to get an A2DP driver from Apple. The only support posts about A2DP drivers I can find are from 10 or more years ago. How do I find the driver? I've seen Youtube videos of people demonstrating how to connect these exact earbuds to Macbook via Bluetooth and they just show up in the System Settings list of available connections. What am I missing?

MacBook Pro 13″

they must be confused, a2dp is a bluetooth profile not a device that can have a driver on it's own

List of Bluetooth profiles - Wikipedia

the A2DP means Advanced Audio Distribution Profile

and is the std stereo bluetooth headset profile, it's supported by apples bluetooth system

the first time one wish to connect a device such as a headset one needs to do 2 things

make sure the headset does not currently have an active connection with another device, one of mine like to connect to my iphone as soon as they are powered on, so if I am to pair it with something else I need to disconnect.
first time one connects to it one needs to place the headset into pairing/discovery mode maybe like this

Problem solved. I tried doing the pairing process again and finally it worked for some magical reason!

I've tried disconnecting from iPhone and doing the single tap followed by long tap on the right earbud but they still don't appear in the list of available Bluetooth connections in System Settings.
