you're right. I tried to install this kext that I find online for my chip BluetoolFixup.kext, I reboot and bluetooth work, scan but can't pare with other device

this is important, you need to do this:

The New Beginner's Guide to USB Port Configuration

Important Update: June 2023 From Big Sur 11.3 on the built-in OpenCore XhciPortLimit quirk no-longer worked as described. This became a known "bug", though in reality it was Apple changing their internal code, making a simple "peek and poke" to keep it operating, a difficult task. However, with...

also no need for:

Hello,
For BT you may need some more kexts and as it was said before, create a USB map ( a new .kext )

In my case ( Intel AX 210 ), for BT I use 3 kexts :

IntelBluetoothFirmware.kext
IntelBTPatcher.kext
BlueToolFixup.kext

Your setup may be different.
Keep trying

UPDATE :

Just in case ....
There is a new version for IntelBluetoothFirmware :

I will be adding 2 more files to your EFI regarding BT ( if necessary ), then come back.
Stay tuned

The kexts seem to be ok.

But your USB map does not look OK.
"USB headers" on the motherboard must have UsbConnector number 255.
Find the port in which you inserted the BT cable of the TP-Link PCI-E adapter and edit it ( must be 255)

Also the USB 2.0 (black) ports on the rear side of PC must have UsbConnector number 0 ( see H10 below)
Here is an example.
Re-check documentation regarding mapping USB ports.
