Why won't my game controller work with my phone?

[Android Central Question]

I'm trying to connect my PS4 controller to my Android phone (Motorola Z4). At first I tried Bluetooth, but it was unusably laggy. So, after some research, I got a USB to USB-C adapter that plugs into the phone and connected that to the USB to micro-USB cable that plugs into the controller. Everything I found online suggests that this should start working immediately, but all it does is charge the controller. How can I fix this?

Try going internal storage and open setting for attached device?
