4- Download the DJI Assistance 2 for Mavic in this DJI Assistant 2 For Mavic- DJI Download Center- DJI
5- First open the DJI Assistance and then plug the USB C cable to the smart controller
6- When the control ask for the USB configuration select CHARGING
7- Start the update to the last firmware
8- The update will have 3 steps: Download, Transfer and Install the update
9- If everything goes fine at 98% the controller will reboot by it self and once boot you will see a DJI logo with a progress bar installing. This will take few minutes.
10- Once the controller boot again you should be ready to start Pairing the drone.
11- To pair the drone, go to Settings, Aircraft Management and Add the new drone
12- when the wizard indicate and stat beeping to pair the aircraft with the Mavic Air 2 on hold the power bottom for 4 seconds and will start paring.

this does not work for me (tried it twice). at "transmitting..." stage, hangs at 7%.
have also tried numerous other posted procedures, step-by-step, but to no avail.
why can't a company that produces such a great product provide an update procedure that actually works, and without having to perform a factory data reset?

Just to be clear - you are using the latest version of DJI Assisstant 2?
