WB55 Nucleo BLE - Connection issues

When I load the handson_2 everything works fine. However when i open a new project and initialize it as a p2p server application - And follow the steps in handson_2 training video, I can get my nucleo to advertise just fine - however I cannot connect it, am I missing some call somewhere? I cross checked mostly every .c and .h in handson_2 and in other projects from the git repository but i can't find the missing piece.
