How To Use 1 Script on Multiple Objects (In My Case AddingForce To Ridgidbodies)

Question

First of all i am a super noob :)
Ok to dumb it down i have a Main menu scene, in this scene i have 1 Menu_Avatar (a simple cube) that spins and when i click the start button my avatar shoots off (using Rigidbody addforce/torque). Now i decided i want 3 objects to do the exact same thing at the same time when i quit the game so i now have 3 Quit_Avatars, I Duplicate my Menu_Avatar_Movement script and Name it Quit_Avatar_Movement making sure to rename all the classes and stuff so its all unique with no Conflicts/Errors.
So i add my script component to all 3 avatars and Individually link each Ridgedbody component to their corresponding script component. Now running the game all Quit_Avatars correctly spin using code within void FixedUpdate But when i use the Quit button or my "debug key" to call Public void QuitForce() Only 1 of the Avatars actually execute the code in the script??
This is my Code for reference:

 public class Quit_Avatar_Movement : MonoBehaviour
 {
     #region References & Values
     public Rigidbody Rb;
 
     public float YRoteForce = 200f;
     public float ZBlastForce = 3500f;
     public float BlastRoteForce = 200f;
     public bool IsAvatarFrzn = true;
 
     #endregion
 
     #region Fixed Update
     // Update is called once per frame
     void FixedUpdate()
     {
         //Spins Quit_Avatar When its frozen in place
         if (IsAvatarFrzn == true)
         {
             Rb.AddTorque(0, YRoteForce * Time.fixedDeltaTime, 0, ForceMode.VelocityChange);
 
             //Fixed Update seems to work correctly on all Avatars
         }       
     }
     #endregion
 
     public void QuitForce() //Is Called Using "FindObjectOfType<Quit_Avatar_Movement>().QuitForce();" When Quit Button Is Pressed
     {
         Debug.Log("QuitForce Called");
         IsAvatarFrzn = false;
         Rb.constraints = RigidbodyConstraints.None;
         Rb.angularDrag = 0;
         Rb.AddForce(0, 0, -ZBlastForce * Time.fixedDeltaTime, ForceMode.VelocityChange);
         Rb.AddTorque(-BlastRoteForce * Time.fixedDeltaTime, 0, 0, ForceMode.VelocityChange);
         Rb.AddTorque(0, -BlastRoteForce * Time.fixedDeltaTime, 0, ForceMode.VelocityChange);
 
         //This whole "fucntion" (if thats the right term to use) Only affects 1 Avatar?
     }
 }

With your comment next to QuitForce() method I think you maybe using the incorrect find method.

Instead of FindObjectOfType use FindObjectsOfType (Notice Objects instead of Object).

Try this when quit button is pressed:

 var quit_avatars = FindObjectsOfType<Quit_Avatar_Movement>();
 
 foreach (var quit_avatar in quit_avatars)
 {
     quit_avatar.QuitForce();
 }
