(Indentation modified to show the actual structure more clearly)
The S-exp structure is wrong here. A service declaration is of form
```
(service xxx-service-type
(xxx-configuration
(field-name value)
(another-field another-value)))
```
and the `services` field must be a list of such service declarations. In
your configuration snippet the first definition of `services` is valid
but the second one is three separate elements (not a list). The first
element is a pair (not a list) with elements `(service bluetooth-service-type)`
and `(bluetooth-configuration (auto-enable? #t))`, the second element is
a single valid service declaration and the third is a list of service
declarations.
Also, you are defining the `services` field twice which will not give
expected results even if it passes the compiler (hopefully it doesn't).
You have to combine the lists and set the `services` field to that.
I think %base-services is a subset of %desktop-services, so you should
not need both in the same `operating-system` declaration.

In Guix one doesn't "put services into %base-services" but instead
creates a new list of services which contains the services in
%base-services and some additional services.
