No AirDrop notification on BigSur Mac from iPhone

Been trying to AirDrop photos from my iPhone SE to my Mac with Big Sur newly installed. My Mac shows up on my options for AirDrop on my iPhone, but when I send, my phone says "Waiting..." and nothing happens on my Mac. No notification to accept the images.

HOWEVER, I CAN send from my Mac to my iPhone.

I've already signed out and in again with my Apple ID.
My Mac is set to receive from "Everyone"
My iPhone hotspot is turned off
I've already checked that my firewall is not blocking all incoming connections
I've turned bluetooth and wifi off and back on on both devices

NOTE: I found the solution: Norton was blocking with its firewall.
