For bumper mode, do the following:
Switch the button from BT to USB on the left-hand side of the gamepad.
Connect the case to your phone and make sure it's seated properly into the USB-C port.
Slide the two halves of the Kunai on to your phone.
For handheld mode, simply put the gamepad back together, remove the case and connect your gamepad to the phone with your USB-C cable.

Thank you for contacting us about the problem of kunai 3 being unable to connect to the phone using USB.
According to my info, the phone can be used directly after it is connected to the gamepad via USB. If it can only be used via Bluetooth connection, it is recommended to send it to the service center for repair.
