I have a MacBook Air M2, 2022. Using a MagSafe charger with a 30W Charger that came with it. It will only turn on if plugged in, it will not charge. I have tried SMC reset, battery health reads as normal. Claims it is Charging at 1% and will not rise. If I unplug it turns off. Hardware diagnostic from boot up cannot test if battery is below 6%. I think my hardware is fine. How do I fix?
Try to charge using USB-C with the other 20W charger you have. If the MacBook charges using the 20W charger using USB-C, try the 20W charger with the MagSafe cable. This can help you rule out where the fault it. Note that you do not need to use the MagSafe charger or cable to charge the MacBook. I charge my M2 Air strictly via USB-C.
You could take the MacBook and whatever chargers and cables you have used to an Apple Store (Genius Bar Reservation) for them to diagnose on the spot and tell you what can be done to remedy the situation.

Have you tried another charger and/or cable?
Either the cable or the block could be the problem, so both should be substituted. Yes, you can try the 20W but one sized for the device would be better. Or better yet, a visit to a genius bar at an Apple store.
Sometimes heavy consumption takes a chunk of battery percentage and a low-voltage power brick could not lift it up, resulting it being stuck, use an official apple brick and leave for a day or so
Would a 20W work (just take longer)?
I don't have another MagSafe charger, just big phone one that can do 20W.
Stuck at 1% with healthy battery.
