You do not say where in the world you are operating (CE or FCC region) Nor do not say what platform you are running (iOS or Android) but my guess would be Android and Europe somewhere.
This is an issue with your phone (5.8ghz DMS channels) which you will not be able to override.
This has been covered before on the forum.
Your easy option would be connect, swap to 2.4ghz and then disable wi-fi and plug in OTG.

In Europe, 5.8G for the channels used by the Spark are not polluted by wifi hotspots and Bluetooth as it is for the 2.4G band. At power up the Spark check first the 2.4G band and use it if it is quite. Else it use the 5.8G band.
The user selection is always overwritten by Spark at power up.

I'm in Australia using an Android phone and my spark defaults to 5.8, I can change from 5.8 to 2.4 only when I'm not using the OTG cable, after I've changed over I can plug the OTG cable in and it will stay in the band and frequency I've selected..

That's normal behavior. When we say "Europe", it is in fact what DJI indicates as "CE" mode. Countries usually follows rules for radio communications according to European or American style. The same like metric or imperial, PAL or NTSC, ...
