You need to post the full names of what you used to install with.
It's likely that your downloads aren't the firmware-inclusive
versions that you need. If so, you need to download one containing
the non-free firmware, which appears to be available:

 * MediaTek MT7921 hdr firmware, version 20230117170855a
   (mediatek/WIFI_MT7961_patch_mcu_1_2_hdr.bin)
 * MediaTek MT7921 firmware, version 20230117170942
   (mediatek/WIFI_RAM_CODE_MT7961_1.bin)

It's also /possible/ that the bookworm installer is still not
production-ready yet.

Cheers,
David.
