I also don't see customise touch bar option in my keyboard. any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

What exact Mac is this... Intel or M1 13" MBP ?



On the Intel Mac the best you can do is try both—

resetting the SMC How to reset the SMC of your Mac - Apple Support


resetting NVRAM/PRAM Reset NVRAM or PRAM on your Mac - Apple Support

(get at least two-three rounds of the chimes when holding the NRAM Reset)



on the M1— the best you can do is


Shut down, close the lid 30 secs+ , reboot as normal


no resolve—Try a SafeBoot How to use safe mode on your Mac - Apple Support



If you still have an issue it typically points to a hardware issue:


In or out of warranty you can get a free over the counter 'Apple Service Diagnostics' test /assessment

Make an appointment for a "hardware issue"
