Adjust keyboard backlight

Hey y'all,

I'm trying to adjust the backlight on my MacBook Air 7,2, but the hardware buttons (F5 and F6) aren't working. I went to go and make sure that everything was working by adjusting the brightness in /sys/class/leds/smc::kbd_backlight, but had no such luck due to the system being immutable. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

Thanks!
