Right airpod not working

I have my moms old airpods, however one of them (right) is from the airpod pro v1 and the other (left) is from the airpod pro v2. The left airpod works perfectly by itself, however I am deaf in my left ear, and I only care about the right one to work. Whenever I open the case with both or just the right airpod in it blinks orange, but when I just have the left one in it is green and works fine. How do I get the case to forget the left airpod, and connect with the right? I really don't care about the left airpod, and I am not trying to use it in any way, but I need the right one to work.

You can see what to do: If your left or right AirPod isn't working - Apple Support

An AirPod blinking orange generally just needs resetting, yet perhaps it does not have the correct case:


Mmmm ... we do not know whether the case came with the v1 or the v2 airpod pro.

And .... I do not know whether you can or can not successfully use a v1 and v2 Airpod together ?

"If the AirPods have already been paired to a device then you are able to use one by itself.

If they have not been paired, you will need to locate the other AirPod
