How do I pair Dualshock 4 to Steam Link App via Bluetooh? Stuck at pair screen [Android]
I do not have a cable I could use to hook up my Dualshock 4 to my phone.

My phone says my Dualshock 4 is connected to Bluetooth, yet when the Steam Link App brings me to the 'Pair Controller' screen and I click 'Pair other controllers' it brings me to a screen that says something among the lines of:

"Please refer to your controller's instructions to learn how to pair with your device. This may include putting your controller into pairing mode, going to your Bluetooth settings, and connecting to the controller."

See the problem? My PS4 controller is connected to Bluetooth, yet it seems Steam Link isn't picking it up.

I have also Power Cycled the controller.

As it stands, playing most of my games with the Touch controllers on Steam Link is very unbearable. If I could get my PS4 controller to connect, it would be amazing. But, alas..

go to the android bt menu enter pairing mode

on the ds4, hold share+ps til it flashes white

on the android tab select wireless controller and pair

when you start streaming, make sures steams controller config is correct
begin streaming -> go to the host pc
steam -> settings -> controlller
make sure you see the controller, and check its bpm/desktop/chord mappings
and the mappings for each game, steam -> library -> right click on each game -> controller config and properties and make sure controller is enabled

That's the problem. My controller isn't showing up, yet it's connected to my phone via bluetooth. Steam doesn't give me the option to select it or do anything with it.

I did the share+ps button until it flashed, and it's connected to my phone currently as Wireless Controller, as you said. It's just the Steam Link app that isn't picking it up
