R5c firmware?

Hey - just made the switch from Nikon to Canon as I have needs for long form video, thus the r5c purchase. I somehow managed to get one of these for the few days that it was available in Australia! (Not sure if thats a good thing or a bad thing!). Anyway, I suspect that there isn't a firmware upgrade for this camera yet, and Canon Australia is not showing anything. It was marketed in January as having all the features of the 1.5.0 version of the R5.

Thats background

My question is, should the firmware version be displaying on the camera menu? The word, 'firmware' is there and its not grayed out, using 'P' mode, but when I highlight and click ok, I get, 'no accessory attached for the firmware update'. I have a formatted memory card inserted and camera connected to computer via usbc.

Perhaps this is all irrelevant as there may not be an upgraded firmware version, but I thought at least it would display the firmware version that I currently have?
