Thanks I will try set channel function some time later.

I assume it only works in promiscuous mode.

Yes for AP+STA the channel will be the same and STA channel has to match the AP the station is connecting to.

why have they set a AP channel config if it is bound to pick it up from STA directly. Can someone help here? We are trying to use esp32c5 as a bridge between 5GHz router and a 2.4GHz only compatible device

If you are using both AP and STA mode then channel will be dependent on like device STA which is connected with AP point of Router or Mobile Hot-Spot. So, If you set channel 4 but your STA is connected with configured router whose channel is 6 then your AP channel will be changed to 6 accordingly.

Above is approximate reason accordingly for channel perspective issues into AP+STA mode.

Let me know if you still have any query for the same.
