It does work. Keep trying! I had the same issue with my FC30 Pro. As annoying as it sounds, just keep going through the 'back' and 'search' loop. Eventually it WILL find it. I had to try maybe 10 to 15 times before mine would pop up. :)
A more easy route to take is to first start bluetoothctl.
sudo bluetoothctl
power on
agent on
scan on
devices
Start the controllers with start+r.
Keep pressing the different buttons until it shows up and don't shut down.
Takes a minute or less.
You can also type devices a couple of times if you don't want to wait for bluetoothctl scanning to update.
After the controllers are recognized quit bluetoothctl and start Retropie-Setup now they will show from the start and you don't have to try 10-15 times.
