Bookmarks not working with RMarkdown (pdf) and titlesec

Question

I was looking for a way to change heading format in RMarkdown (pdf) and found this code which works just fine.

---
output: pdf_document
header-includes:
  - \usepackage[tiny]{titlesec}
                  \titleformat*{\section}{\center\bfseries}{}
---

However, the heading are not correct in the bookmarks of the document, i.e., all sections ends up a level lower than the previous (regardless of their actual level).

Here is an example.

---
output: pdf_document
header-includes:
  - \usepackage[tiny]{titlesec}
                  \titleformat*{\section}{\center\bfseries}{}
---


# Level 1

# Level 1

## Level 2

### Level 3

# Level 1

## Level 2

And this is the resulting bookmarks.

Thank you,

Can't reproduce with up-to-date pandoc, rmarkdown and texlive 2021. Are your tools up-to-date? https://i.stack.imgur.com/LzSfk.png — samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz, Feb 08 '22 at 14:13
@samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz I have Rmarkdown 2.11, Pandoc 2.17.0.1. Updated every packages I had. I still have the problem. I've tried in adobe and it does not work either. Thank you! — POC, Feb 08 '22 at 14:36
If it is not too long, it should fit into the maximum character limit of your question. Else there is https://pastebin.com/ or github etc — samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz, Feb 08 '22 at 14:53
I can not seem to be able to keep the log files. I can with the tex files. It their a trick for that? — POC, Feb 08 '22 at 15:02
With `output: pdf_document: keep_tex: true`, the .log file should be left in your folder — samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz, Feb 08 '22 at 15:05
mmm, too bad. My best theory would be an outdated tex installation — samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz, Feb 08 '22 at 15:10
I'm installing tex live and have an updated tinytex. Not sure what I could do. Thank you! — POC, Feb 08 '22 at 15:12
If I run the TEX files in Miktex, bookmarks are correct. I've tried on another computer and it produces the same error. Have you tried to run only in Rmarkdown @samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz ? — POC, Feb 08 '22 at 15:30
Yes, the screenshot I showed you was produced from rmarkdown, via pandoc to the pdf. I've seen many questions in which rmarkdown/pandoc would pick up an old tex distribution instead of the one the users normally use. That's why I would love to see your log file — samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz, Feb 08 '22 at 15:33
@samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz I've managed to get the log file and to drop it on git hub. Here it is : https://github.com/quantmeth/MethQuantR/blob/main/test.log — POC, Feb 08 '22 at 16:18
You must fix the error `! LaTeX Error: File titlesec.sty not found.` otherwise latex can't correctly compile — samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz, Feb 08 '22 at 16:28
if your files works in your miktex, maybe try to make rmakddown use miktex instead of texlive. Maybe https://stackoverflow.com/a/33670021/2777074 can help — samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz, Feb 08 '22 at 16:33
