If you want to connect wirelessly, hold the PS button and the Create button until the light bar starts flashing. Then go to Settings > Accessories > Bluetooth Accessories on your PS5 and select the controller from the list.
I've done this a million times. Use the USB cable first; it's the quickest way. If you want wireless after that, do the syncing dance with the PS and Create buttons.
Easy peasy! Just use the USB cable that came with your controller to connect it to the PS5. Then press the PS button in the center of the controller, and it should sync automatically.
