Connection using old pairing information saved

Question

I am running an experiment to use a static keys for pairing information without breaking the existing flow of pairing/bonding. What I am doing is I am storing the pairing info of my central device and storing it into a structure and then erasing the flash to remove those information, and after reset I am retrieving those bonding information and connecting again using the same central devices but I am getting "Peer removed bonding info" response on my phone. void store_ltk_in_zephyr(void)
{
 int id, err;
 struct bt_keys pairing_info = {
 .addr = {
 .type = BT_ADDR_LE_PUBLIC,
 .a.val = {0x43,0x82,0x5E,0xC7,0xE8,0xF4,0xFD}
 },
 .irk = {0x8A, 0x27, 0x1E, 0xA7, 0x92, 0x2A, 0xF0, 0x15, 0x41, 0x69, 0x48, 0xDD, 0xC0, 0x7E, 0xDD, 0xF7},
 .ltk = {
 .val = {0xc0, 0xe6, 0x9a, 0x0a, 0xf7, 0x4b, 0xdc, 0xb7, 0x7d, 0x23, 0xf4, 0xb4, 0x89, 0x8d, 0x96, 0x02},
 .ediv = {0x00,0x00},
 .rand = {0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00},
 }
 };

// Store the keys using the settings API
 err = bt_keys_store(&pairing_info);
 if (err) {
 printk("Failed to store keys (err %d)
", err);
 } else {
 printk("Keys stored successfully
");
 }
} In main, I am calling like this to load the info onto the flash- settings_subsys_init();
 //smp_bt_register();
	bt_conn_auth_cb_register(&auth_cb_display);
 bt_conn_auth_info_cb_register(&conn_auth_info_callbacks);
	err = bt_enable(NULL);
	if (err) {
 printk("Bluetooth init failed (err %d)
", err);
 k_sleep(K_MSEC(100));
 err = bt_enable(NULL); //Trying one more time after this system reset
 if(err) NVIC_SystemReset();
	}
 store_ltk_in_zephyr();
 if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_SETTINGS)) {
 settings_load();
 } And on connect I am using like this- bt_conn_set_security(conn, BT_SECURITY_L1|BT_SECURITY_FORCE_PAIR); Do let me know, how can I connect with the same bonding info which I have made a copy of from the same bonding structure.
