Magic keyboard not lighting up

Just got the new 2021 iPad Pro and magic keyboard. The keyboard backlight is not working. I tried to adjust the keyboard brightness in settings, and the option is grayed out. How do I fix this? Or, did I get a dud and need to exchange it?

iPad Pro, iPadOS 14

I figured out the issue with my white magic keyboard, just use it in a very dark room and it automatically turns the backlight on. You can’t control it anymore in lighter conditions.
