The first thing you need to make sure if that your PSVR 2 controllers are charged and synced. Once they are, you simply need to press and hold the PS button on the controllers until there is a beeping sound. This means they are turned on.

When they are on there should be a battery display on the screen, in the same place as it is for the wireless DualSense controllers.

The PSVR 2 Sense controllers automatically turn off when they have been left idle, or if you exit the SteamVR app. If you want to manually turn them off you can go to Control Center > Accessories > PSVR 2 Sense Controller.
