awk to update value based on pattern match in another file

In the awk, thanks you @RavinderSingh13, for the help in below, hopefully it is close as I am trying to update the value in $12 of the tab-delimeted file2 with the matching value in $1 of the space delimeted file1. I have added comments for each line as well. Thank you Smilie.

awk
Code:
awk '$12 == /NM_/{                                              # search $12 for pattern NM_
            match($12,/p..*/);                                  # using match the regex will match in $12 from the p. to the end
            VAL=substr($12,RSTART+1,RLENGTH-2);                 # Putting the values of subtring whose value starts from RSTART+1 to RSTART-2
            for(i=1;i<=num;i++){                                # Starting a loop which will start from value 1 of variable i to till value of variable num
            awk 'FNR==NR {a[$1]=$2; next} a[$i]{VAL=a[$i]}      # Store $2 value from file1 in array a and update array i matching VAL
                }                                               # close block
                    next                                        # process next line
                    }1' OFS="\t" file1 FS'\t' file2             # define file1 as space delimited and file2 as tab-delimited with the output also being tab-delimited

file1
Code:
C Cys
D Asp
V Val
W Trp
Y Tyr

file2
Code:
R_Index	Chr	Start	End	Ref	Alt	Func.refGene	Gene.refGene	GeneDetail.refGene	Inheritence	ExonicFunc.refGene	AAChange.refGene	avsnp147
1	chr1	948846	948846	-	A	upstream	ISG15	dist=1	.	.	.	rs3841266

desired output the 3 lines in bold are updated because the one-letter code before and after the digit matched $1 in file1, so it is updated to the three-letter code in $2.
