First thing. Did you check the SHA256 checksum of the downloaded ZorinOS .iso against the published value before installing it?
What Bluetooth card or combined Wifi/Bluetooth card do you have?

If sudo lshw -C network doesn't show any bluetooth, you could try sudo dmesg | grep -i bluetooth - will show if any drivers are loaded and if the device is present from the kernel.
Yes, I just double checked again. Checksum is the same. The combo card is the MediaTek MT7922. Sorry for the delay in responding I was expecting to get notifications of responses to this.

Just did a websearch using " MediaTek MT7922 ubuntu 22.04" as Z17 is based on Ubuntu 22.04.
According to this link, it is certified:
I also found unanswerd questions on askubuntu about this device and driver.
I wonder if a later kernel would help, but others here may be better to advise.

Have you yet run:
sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade
Rebooted and tested Bluetooth?
Just did a fresh install, only one package was updated and had zero effect.
Please install blueman
sudo apt install blueman
Power on your BT device you wish to pair and set it to pairing.
Launch Blueman from the app menu and click setup and see if devices appear.
If your device appears, you can select it and click "Connect".
Installed Blueman, clicked connect when the prompt to enable automatically came up I selected yes. Blueman force closed and won't reopen even after a reinstall of the package
This is odd, since the driver and the init seem to be working. Have you tested that device on another machine?
Upgrading the kernel past 6.02 may be the most helpful option for you and @BlackJoker, as these two issues are related.
There will be no more updates to this kernel as it is EOL, so the next best option is to update the kernel to the next supported kernel.

Yes, the device has worked on different distros. It was just working on Manjaro previously to reinstalling Zorin
The only option in the Mainline repo was 6.6.8, which seems to be able to enable BT finally. Now I hope 6.6.8 is stable

It should be, and supported. As long as all of your hardware works, you are good.
Now I just get to do this all again since I forgot to enable FDE during installation lol
