Keyboard Light

My macbook air keyboard light isn't working. I've already tried pressing the keys but nothing is showing. Also, for some reason I don't have the option in system preferences to adjust it manually. What should I do?

Enter ➔ Safe Mode and see if the keyboard light issue still exists in Safe mode. Log out of Safe Mode and then reboot computer. If that does not solve things then-
Finally if none of the above works then you can enter ➔ macOS Recovery Mode and reinstall the macOS and see if that solves it.
