Your description is unclear.  What does it mean to add a bridge to a VM?

Your description is unclear.  What does it mean to add a flow entry to a
controller?

The best thing you could do here is to give a succinct but complete
description of how we can see the same problem.

What does it mean to add a bridge to an interface?

It sounds like the controller is dropping the connections from the
switches.
