If you're not sure if your PS5 controller is in pairing mode, you can quickly confirm by taking a look at the glowing lights around the touchpad.
When DualSense is in pairing mode, the lights around the touchpad will turn blue and flash twice quickly, go dark, and then flash twice again. This flashing pattern continues as long as the controller is in pairing mode.
