Not sure whats going on, I open the case with the buds in hold down the button and put it in pairing. The Steam Deck sees it but won’t pair with it. Idk what’s going on. I have reset it, disconnected it from the iPhone, idk what else to try. Desktop mode and Game mode won’t pair :-/

These are not enforced, but they are encouraged.
Rules:
I've never used a steam deck, but I know SteamOS runs linux. If you have the terminal easily available, try:
sudo systemctl restart bluetooth.service (might be bluetoothd.service)
If that doesn't work, this almost always resolves my bluetooth issues:
rmmod btusb
rmmod btintel
modprobe btusb
modprobe btintel
If none of that works, your bluetooth card could be disabled due to static discharge, in which case you should hold power button / hard shut down, unplug charger, boot again, plug in charger again.
These are only issues ive encountered on the Linux end. I would recommend troubleshooting the airpods by tapping the "i" button next to them and forgetting them, then attempting to pair with the Steam Deck
