Q-Flash Plus button question

Heya,
I just got the Gigabyte Aorus Elite AX V2 and a Ryzen 5 9600X and experiencing the obvious BIOS issues.
I am struggling to find the Q Flash file I have been instructed to download on their support page, I can only see zips with .EFI files. https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/B650-AORUS-ELITE-AX-V2/support#support-dl-utility I did TRY and just follow the .EFI version F34 route as a glimmer of hope and naturally it failed to stay turned on for more than a second with the Q Flash button.
I am losing my mind a bit here and feel like I've missed something obvious like a different link, if anybody can help out!
The title. I plan on getting zen 3 when it launches in september/october and I wan't to know how to use q flash plus on the b550 aorus elite so I can actually use a zen 3 processor with my mobo. I'm pretty new to this as it will be my first pc so please be beginner friendly. Thank You!
I've just ordered a new motherboard, a Gigabyte Z690 Gaming X DDR4, (from Amazon, but not available for dispatch for a few weeks).
I will be installing an i7 13700K on it, and I'd be grateful for some answers to a few questions, ready for when I do this.
1)is the M/B likely to come with the latest F21 BIOS , or will it more likely have the F2 BIOS only?
2) If I need to use the Q-Flash Plus button, do I need to enable the button somehow, or just connect power, insert USB and hold the button?
3) Am I right that I must change the name of the file Z690GAMINGXDDR4.F21 to GIGABYTE.bin ?
(When I lupdated the BIOS on my current motherboard only a month or so ago, the instructions on the Gigabyte site were woefully outdated, telling me to 'insert the floppy disc'! at one point, so it would be nice to hear some genuinely current experience to help me setup my new board).
Thank you to anyone who can clarify the process for me.
EDIT I changed my order to Aorus Elite AX DDR4 instead of waiting weeks for the Gaming X.
It's all fitted, bios update went smoothly, and it seems to be working fine, thank you all for the helpful info.
