missing clock in menu bar

I've done everything but still cannot place clock/date in my menu bar. It was always there before. I've followed instructions from community forums but there is no place that allows me to put a check next to Place in Menu Bar.

These are the only icons on the left-hand side, no control, DND, sound, WiFi, Bluetooth, or Screen.




In the preferences, these are all checked to be active and show up, none show up?

I see my date and time faded in my toolbar. If I click on it my clock and calendar appear as widgets on my screen

the dim clock is actually a "feature". it tells you the status of "do not disturb" at a glance. 


when DND is turned on, the clock is dim.


but when it's off, the clock is bright


but if you place the DND icon permanently on the menubar the clock will stay bright regardless of if DND is turned off or on. instead, the DND icon goes dim or bright.

DND turned off:


just open control centre and drag DND from control centre and drop it on your menubar. you drag it by the text, not the icon.
