@Feartech So I did bit of a research and added enable-cfi-backlight-fix in properties with vale 0x01000000. I just copied 01000000 into the value section. Still no headway with regards to brightness. Can you please check my updated Clover folder please?

what patches did you make in your DSDT?

you could also try using MacBookPro15,2 to test

also i came across this from a fellow mod when I used to use clover that may work for you:

Make sure you remove SSDT-PNLF, SSDT-ALS0.
Remove AppleBacklightFixup.kext or if you were using the old AppleBacklightInjector.kext from Rehabman.
Leave only whatevergreen.kext

Into config.plist /Devices/Properties (not inside the IGPU) just on Devices/Properties add the values:
SetIntelBacklight=True (boolean)
SetIntelMaxBacklight=True (boolean)

Enable/add the config.plist /DSDT/Fixes/ AddPNLF=True

Reboot and Brightness should work correctly.

@Feartech So by removing the AppleBacklightFixup.kext from L/E, removing the SSDT-PNLF and adding the values in clover my brightness is finally working. Thank You very much. But there is still a problem I hope it can be resolved. The maximum brightness level is too low. It is probably what Windows is at the minimum level. How can I resolve it?

glad your brightness is working!

try enabling these in config.plist:
Code: 
<key>Fixes</key>
            <dict>
                <key>Comment-IRQ Fix</key>
                <string>The following fixes may be needed for onboard audio/USB/etc</string>
                <key>FixHPET</key>
                <false/>
                <key>FixIPIC</key>
                <false/>
                <key>FixRTC</key>
                <false/>
                <key>FixTMR</key>
                <false/>
            </dict>

test by removing igfxcflbklt=1

InjectIntel should be set to false

also test using MacBookPro15,2 SMBIOS

@Feartech I enabled HPET, IPIC, RTC, TMR fixes by checking them in clover. I disabled the igfxcflbklt and injectIntel flags as well but still same brightness levels. Last resort I changed my SMBIOS from 15,3 to 15,2 but still the same issue. Seems we are running out of options now? :(
I have attached my CLOVER folder so you may check that I had followed the instructions correctly or not.

looking at your properties in your config.plist and then comparing them to Rehabman's:
github.com

OS-X-Clover-Laptop-Config/config_UHD630.plist at master · RehabMan/OS-X-Clover-Laptop-Config

Some Clover config.plist files for common Intel graphics configurations - RehabMan/OS-X-Clover-Laptop-Config
github.com github.com

you seem to have:

Code: 
<key>enable-cfl-backlight-fix</key>
                <data>
                AQAAAA==
                </data>
try removing that (make a backup if needed) and test
also look for any other changes in that section to trial and error

@Feartech I’m not that much experienced in hackintoshing so feeling a bit hesitant in making some drastic changes. Anyway I compared my plist with RehabMan’s the differences I observed were just those Fixes you advised me to apply FixRTC etc etc. Apart from that Inremoved enable-cfl-backlight-fix as well but it made zero difference
