How do I get the Sonos Ones to connect as surround speakers.

I have 2 sonos ones in my kitchen (directly behind my living room) and would like to setup as rear surround sound. Currently, I have 2 different Sonos setups, the "Living Room" which includes a Sonos Arc and Sonos Sub, and my "Kitchen" which includes 2 Sonos Ones. When I go into the App and try to add the Sonos Ones as rear surround speakers by selecting “Set up surrounds”, it doesn't recognize the Ones and states, "Two compatible Sonos speakers are required to add surrounds". All speakers are connected to my Wi-Fi. What am I doing wrong, and how do I get the Sonos app to recognize the Sonos Ones as surround speakers? Thank you

You have to first separate the stereo pair then they will be available to add to the Arc as surrounds. You should then do Trueplay to get the best sound. To set them up as a stereo pair, if you plan to do this, you will have to remove them as surrounds and create the pair. True play again. Its a bit of a chore if you plan to go back and forth with them.
