How to put a year inbetween parenthesis? e.g. 2020 > (2020)

Tried searching to see if anyone had already posted something similar and couldn't find anything so hopefully you guys can help with the right way to do this.

Basically just looking to put a year in a filename into parenthesis.  Example below:

Testing file 2020.rar

to

Testing file (2020).rar

Hi and welcome.

Question: is that always only ONE number in your filenames,
and / or always the last part before the extension dot, and / or always exactly 4 digits?

Then you could use the below Regular Expression rule

FROM:
Testing file 2020.rar
TO:
Testing file (2020).rar

USE:
Regular Expression
Search: ^(.+) (\d\d\d\d)$
Replace: $1 ($2)
[x]skip extension
