Fan control on ASUS vivobook

I’m running the kernel module asus-nb-wmi. I go to /sys/devices/platform/asus-nb-wmi/hwmon/hwmon? like it talks about here Fan speed control - ArchWiki

echo 0 > pwm1/2_enable doesn’t do anything. I tried installing asus_fan. I.e.
pacman -Q dkms - to verify, which of course it’s installed becaused it’s used with the dkms nvidia module
sudo modprobe asus_fan - which responds ‘no devices found’

I’ve tried installing the AUR package asusctl, however the GUI doesn’t show fans

Am I SOL on controlling that second fan? (I mean, I can’t seem to control the first fan. But at least it runs)
