You have the same P vs. T profile bug that is being discussed in the brightness guide.

Use IntelBacklight.kext and Brightness by bergdesign until a solution is found.

Reverted to 10.12.3 installed intelbacklight, then in SSDT-HACK. dsl BKLT type i changed to 0 that's using Intelbacklight after that ./build.sh and everything is okay now

what if I don't revert to 10.12.3? BTW Can you explain clearly? I don't understand BKLT meaning

Just open SSDT-HACK.dsl you will find it, guess it means backlight

Would you be willing to modify install_acpi.sh to support some local customizations? I have been using the following change to insure my SSDT for NVMe gets included when I run install_acpi.sh.

I am sure there are other/better ways to do this, but this is how I have it working right now.

IntelBacklight.kext will override AppleBacklightInjector.kext, so no need to remove.
You do need to change BKLT in SSDT-HACK.dsl (read the comments).
