Options to change Night shift to Detect displays is not working

So, I have googled and followed all instructions to try and get the option to change the night shift button to detect displays...and it is not working. I have ensured my keyboard is functioning and tested options and it is working but cannot get it to change that one thing in system preferences under display.

is there any sort of resolution to this issue? about ready to through an IMAC out the window...
