You do it like this: turn on your console, turn on the controller, press and hold the pairing buttons on each. That's it.

Turn on the Xbox One S and the controller. Press the pairing button on both (console first, then controller). The lights should stop flashing once paired. Game on!

I had the same issue. Hold the sync button on the console until the light flashes, then do the same on the controller. They should pair up quickly.
