PS5 Bluetooth Controller Connectivity issues to PC ๐ŸŽฎ (slrpnk.net)

Hey, Recently bought 2 new PS5 controllers to play on PC(BazziteOS), that's connected to a TV. I have the controllers connected to my network card (TP-Link Archer TX50E), that supports Bluetooth 5.0. However, while the PC is only 3 meters away from the TV and the couch, the controllers keep falling out due to bad connectivity. The PC is hardwired to Ethernet, and so are all other devices around, so struggling to think there can be wireless connections interrupting it.

Would really like to be able to play games on the TV. I also have an Nvidia Pro Shield connected to the TV(when the PC is not connected), but not able to think of a method I can have the controllers connected to the Shield instead, while still playing via the PC. Do I need to buy another, stronger Bluetooth adapter?

Anyone got any tips for the situation? Please share your setups/experiences regarding this, if you have.

Have a nice day ๐ŸŒป

It's connected via PCIe on the motherboard :>

Ah. It might be the orientation of the machine. I assume the antenna is on the back. See if getting a clearer view of the antenna to the reciprocating device helps.
