Solving an equation with integration constants and boundary conditions

I have issues with solving an equation with integration constants and boundary conditions.
In this case the equation is presented in the image below, where I calculated the problem by my hand and I would like to replicate a similar solution, where I get as a symfun depending on r, and then using vpa to get a numerical value for a specific r, .
Boundary conditiions:
I was aiming to write in manner as follows, but the result is not what I expected:
r1 = 10;
r2 = 20;
syms A B p2
eqn = [A-B/(r1^2)==0, A-B/(r2^2)==-p2];
Sol_A = solve(eqn,A)
Sol_B = solve(eqn,B)
It is clear that in the code above, the integration constants A, B are firstly solved so that they can be substituted into function . I would prefer to get directly in order to obtain an algorithm to use in other different problems, where the "solving by hand" is not so straightforward.
Thank you in advance

syms sigma_r(r) A B p_2 r1 r2
sigma_r = A - B/r^2
% eqn = sigma_r == 0; % edit: commented out after posting original answer. Not used.
%r1 = 10; r2 = 20; % uncomment this line to get the solution directly
cond1 = subs(sigma_r,r,r1) == 0;
cond2 = subs(sigma_r,r,r2) == -p_2;
solAB = solve([cond1 cond2],[A B])
sigma_r = subs(sigma_r,[A B],[solAB.A solAB.B])
sigma_r = subs(sigma_r,[r1 r2],[10 20])

You're not mistaken. I had defined eqn before I fully understood the question and then did not delete. I'll edit the post.
