So, we know that Azriel is blinded by his longing for Morrigan and the illusion that Elain should belong to him because the cauldron gave his brothers two mates. And since he doesn't consider himself worthy of a mate, here are the parallel that removes almost all of my uncertainties about gwyn's being azriels mate!

RHYSAND: "I smiled. Smiled wider as Feyre’s laugh sounded again—as I felt it down the bond, sparkling brighter than the entirety of Starfall."

AZRIEL:

"Clotho’s pen moved once more. She deserves something as beautiful as this. I thank you for the joy it shall bring to her*.*

Something sparked in Azriel’s chest, but he only nodded his thanks and left. He could picture it, though, as he ascended the stairs back to  the House proper. How Gwyn’s teal eyes might light upon seeing the necklace. For whatever reason… he could see it."

In both contexts, the spark was about Rhys and Az appreciating the happiness that Feyre and Gwyn were/would feeling/feel.

What's most interesting to me is that Rhys was already fully aware that Feyre was his mate, so he could feel all her happiness sparking through the bond. Azriel didn't know. That's why he referred to it as "something."

The choice of words, the context, it was the same night that Nessian discovered their mate bond and the bond was described as "music between souls"... to me it sounds pretty obvious.

I've also included here an overview of what the "spark" in romance novels can mean, even though we're already familiar with Sarah's writing style.
