Nintendo Switch Apex Legends, cannot connect to switch only games.

So I downloaded apex legends on the switch at launch flipped the setting to turn cross platform play off and it worked fine, after the 2nd day I stopped finding lobbies. So I assumed the game died down however, my friend who was on the same WiFi as me still found games. So we tried squading up and waited in the queue for a while and nothing, then we both queued separately at the same time and he got in a game instantly where I was stuck in a queue with about 8 people in it. I can get in cross platform games fine but I feel at a disadvantage with my 30fps cap. I'm from the UK so on the London server I get an average 57ms ping with 0 package loss. I contacted EA customer support and didn't get a fix other than knowing I have no restrictions placed on my account. If anyone has a fix that would be great.
