xbacklight No outputs have backlight property

When I try running xbacklight -inc 10 I get an error message "No outputs have backlight property"

I've searched the issue and found several answers usually suggesting some form of modifying /etc/X11/xorg.conf which I have previously done on this laptop to get backlight working in the first place

# /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Section "Device"
    Identifier  "Intel Graphics" 
    Driver      "intel"
    Option      "Backlight"  "intel_backlight"
EndSection

the unique thing about my situation this time around, is xbacklight was working fine until after I installed the intel graphics drivers through the oibaf PPA

sudo add-apt-repository --remove ppa:oibaf/graphics-drivers 
sudo apt update
sudo apt install xserver-xorg-video-intel

after running the above commands and rebooting I found my mouse and keyboard didn't work so I had to reinstall the drivers by running

sudo apt install xserver-xorg-input-all

after all this the game I was trying to play still didn't work so I removed the PPA and uninstalled xserver-xorg-input-all

I couldn't scroll with my Touchpad after this as well so I had to reinstall that package as well(sudo apt install xserver-xorg-input-synaptics).

This is why I suspect the xbacklight issue isn't a problem with the config, but instead when I was removing the drivers I removed xbacklight drivers. Is there another package I need to install to restore xbacklight?
