How to solve 2 non linear circle equations with vector inputs?

So I have 2 circles that intersect and im trying to solve for those intersection points but also the larger circle in this case f(1) or the circle with the C variables has a variable centre. The centre of the larger circle has different postions on a path and im aiming to find the intersection points as the larger cricle moves. Here is my function:
function f=f_lower(x)
xx=x(1);
yy=x(2);
%the displacement in vector form
dy=linspace(-20,59);
yl0=103.3;
yl1=yl0+dz;
hl0=20;
kl0=103.3;
CD=485.6445;
%the path the centre follows is also an arc
xl1=sqrt((CD^2)-((yl1-kl0).^2))+hl0;
%the new centre values
Ch=xl1;
Ck=yl1;
Cr=542.206;
%smaller cirlce centres/radius
Gh=240.941;
Gk=576.502;
Gr=68.75;
f(1)=(Cr^2)==((xx-Ch).^2)+((yy-Ck).^2);
f(2)=(Gr^2)==((xx-Gh)^2)+((yy-Gk)^2);
end
And then my function in the editor is:
fun=@f_lower;
fsolve(fun,[293.693,602.363])
I found my first intersection using desmos to get my "x0" value in the function for it to solve from.
Still it doesnt work and I can not see why. Any help would be great.

f(1)=(Cr^2)-((xx-Ch)^2)+((yy-Ck)^2);
f(2)=(Gr^2)-((xx-Gh)^2)+((yy-Gk)^2);
instead of
f(1)=(Cr^2)==((xx-Ch)^2)+((yy-Ck)^2);
f(2)=(Gr^2)==((xx-Gh)^2)+((yy-Gk)^2);
