Not even on the keyboard using Fn + F7/F8?

I once had the same issue with KDE on a Toshiba laptop and solved it with ddcutil.
Try using ddcutil (it’s already preinstalled). There’s a GUI for that, install with:

sudo pacman -S ddcui-git

After you’ve installed ddcui-git, start it in the terminal with sudo rights:

sudo ddcui

In the menu, click on “View” and select “Features”:

Then test whether you can adjust the brightness:

I’m currently using ddcutil to control the brightness of an external monitor on an Acer laptop, since it doesn’t work with KDE either.

the fn keys works great i can change keyboard lights and the screen too but changing value of the screen brightness wont make a change it stay dim plus on windows when i fresh install it happens too but there’s a software for amd called autudetectinstall i run it and download the driver then my screen flash without screen dim and i can control brightness but in linux theres no such thing like that

I tried ddcui the feature bottumn is not available for me

Finding the problem first will be easy maybe to find a solution I just don’t know why i’m facing this problem

I don’t do laptops, but a quick search seemed to indicate using acpilight settings might be your best bet:
