Since you are using a nested array, you will want to use Array.prototype.flat on the aa array first. This will convert:

[[value, value2], [value3, value4]]

...to:

[value, value2, value3, value4]

See proof-of-concept below:

const aa = [[1, 2], [3, 4]];
const a = [2, 7];

// Flatten nested arrays
const aaFlat = aa.flat();

console.log(a.some(x => aaFlat.includes(x)));
