I saw that when I was downloading the Samsung magician, I wasn’t sure if it’s the one for my drive or if it could damage the drive due to it not being correctly updated using that so haven’t done it yet.You could try downloading/using the FW ISO..

Ok thanksI've not used it myself so can't comment on how safe it is, maybe someone else can comment, but i would assume it's similar to updating FW on other devices in that it won't let you update if there's a device/version mismatch.
No idea why but it would appear so, fortunately it was a quick and simple process.So it's not, at least in your case, a situation of Magician detecting a different controller or something. It was literally Magician not detecting that there was updated FW.
Interesting and thanks for the update.
