Use the sync tool in the media tab to sync your audio and video, if you don't have timecode or scratch audio with which to implement automatic syncing.
If you have timecode or scratch audio you should definitely try that first, as it will save you time. I prefer to use the appropriate autosync + append command.
If you have to sync manually, use Resolve's sync tool -- it's very good, but it's not at all obvious how to get to it if you don't know that it exists. The trick is the switch the audio display to waveform view in the media page, and then you can select a video clip and an audio clip and scrub them independently to line up the clapper with the spike from the clapper. Click the "link" button and they're linked.
It's a metadata based link, so you can update it later if necessary, but more importantly you can just edit from there, and when you drop a clip that you've synced into a timeline, Resolve will drop the synced audio into the timeline with it.
