You Can't. What you are trying to is is not an option. It is just not a feature of the 2021 MacBook Pro.

The logo used to light up from 'spilled' backlight from the display. I expect what happened is they could not name EMI/RFI (Electro-Magnetic Interference/Radio Frequency Interference) requirements without closing up that space in the aluminum cover, at about the same time as backlight technology changed for less spilling, so the feature was removed.


I am CERTAIN there are hobbyists somewhere who have cobbled up an auxiliary light. I am also certain installing their hack will void your warranty.
