For reference this is how i am setting it up in my configuration.nix
hardware.enableAllFirmware = true;
hardware.bluetooth = {
enable = true;
powerOnBoot = true;
package = pkgs.bluez.overrideAttrs (finalAttrs: previousAttrs: rec {
version = "5.78";

});
};
services.blueman.enable = true;
systemd.services.bluetooth.serviceConfig.ConfigurationDirectoryMode = "755";
