AirPods Problem with Head Tracing

Whenever I used Head Tracing with my AirPods Pro 2 and whenever I turn my head the other direction, it thanks that new direction is the primary one (where it only goes to one earbud, so I have to reset it by switching to Fixed and it's kind of annoying) and I'm wondering if it's something I did or what. Can you help me with this? I also turned my phone off for an hour, and IDK if it's working or not, maybe I didn't use Personalized Spatial Audio right, just saying.

iPhone 11, iOS 16

Head tracking on headphones stop I’ve been AirPods Pro for a long while and never had any problems. I recently bought the AirPod Max and have been having issues with Headtracking turning off randomly. i have the latest phone updates, the headphones are up to date, I’ve done hard resets and it still happens. Yes, I’ve checked the settings and are all set correctly as I use my AirPods Pro with no issues. I can be listening to a song fine, the Spatial Audio is perfect, atmos is great, Headtracking is fine. The next song comes up and Headtracking stops and becomes fixed. Switching the audio from Headtracking to fixed and back again has no effect. The only way to get it working again is to turn Bluetooth off and on again. The issue is with the AirPod Max as the Pro works absolutely fine, my entire SONOS Speaker system works fine, it’s the Max at fault here. is there going to be a fix at anytime!

AirPods Max Head Detection Not Working Anymore My AirPods Max don’t know when they’re on my head anymore. My phone sees them and knows they’re connected, and sometimes I can make audio come out of them, but anytime I put them on my head, neither Transparency or Noise Cancellation come on. In Bluetooth settings, when I choose Noise Cancellation, I’m told to “Place AirPods Max On Your Head To Use Noise Cancellation”, even though they are on my head. Hard resetting (holding the two buttons together for fifteen seconds until the light flashes orange three times) used to help, and I used to have to hard reset at least three times a day to make the headphones play any audio, but now hard resetting does nothing. If I can get audio playing from my phone, it only ever comes through one cup most of the time. When I do get it through both ear cups, the standard Off mode (neither Noise Cancellation or Transparency) makes me nauseous. Are there any other troubleshooting steps short of me bringing these headphones into an Apple Store?
