Finally solved the backlight issue by installing the latest release of https://github.com/guillaumezin/nvidiabl/downloads - nvidiabl-dkms_0.73_all.deb

after intsalling it write in the terminal: sudo echo "nvidiabl" | sudo tee -a /etc/modules
so that it automatically starts on bootup.

and then you use this command to toggle the backlight in the terminal: echo 1 | sudo tee -a /sys/class/backlight/nvidia_backlight/brightness

Important to note is that if you touch the settings in "Nvidia X Server Settings" it will cause Nvidia-bl to stop functioning.
