I bought a Bluetooth headset (KOTION EACH B3506 V4.1 Bluetooth Gaming Headset) from amazon for Christmas and at first, the audio only worked for certain apps like teamspeak but it was really low quality so I fixed it by unchecking the handsfree telephony and it works fine but then the mic doesn't work and it doesn't show up in the recording devices. The only thing that shows up is "Bluetooth headphone" and not "Bluetooth headset". When I check the handsfree telephony, the headset shows up and the mic works but the audio doesn't. How is this fixable?

This is not "fixable" as it is a function of how Bluetooth headsets work.
When the headset is playing high quality stereo sound using the A2DP profile, the mic will be disabled.
When the mic is enabled, the headset will have to choose one of the low quality, mono hands free audio profiles.
Bluetooth 5 has recently been released, and hopefully with the newly added bandwidth, Bluetooth 5 compliant devices may finally come to market that overcome this limitation. Until then, all we can do is live with the shortcoming.
Bluetooth supports multiple devices connecting simultaneously, so nothing is stopping you from getting a separate Bluetooth microphone, and just using the headset in A2DP mode for better quality audio, and the separate mic for your input.
