AirPod Pro 2 replacement has flashing amber light

i’ve recently got a replacement for my AirPod Pro 2 and I followed the instructions that were given to me however, the light won’t stop flashing amber. I’ve tried holding down the button until it turns white, but it always stays on Amber.

AirPods Pro (2nd generation)
