Is the right rail or JoyCon modded to have the pins always bridged?

Ok then probably not. How are you accessing RCM mode? What are you using as a jig?
If you have been using tin foil, a paperclip or similar, you may have damaged the pins in the right rail.

yes i have a jig i thought maybe it damaged the pin?

Most jigs should be fine but some are paperclip based and paperclips are very stiff and can easily damage the pins if you're not careful.

if it is damaged is there anything i can do? i can still use the jig to enter rcm so that gives me some sort of hope

Should still work if you can get into RCM at all. Maybe you updated the joycon firmware while the pins were bridged? Has been known to prevent connecting. Have you ever used a method that relies on modding the joycon like tinfoil or bending its pins, or have you only ever used a rcm jig?

Do they not connect wirelessly either? Try holding down the button between SL and SR until they blink rapidly. Then go to your switch and click the controller menu and change grip/order. If it pairs, reboot and try sliding it in again.

I've tried the change/grip thing and it didnt work but i formatted the console it it paired with it again thanks to both of you for replying and helping me
