I'm Trying to get backlight brightness function working Asus Rog G751Jl but I keep getting an error when trying to apply this patch.

No "Problem Reporting" files attached.

Comments:
- you are likely applying it to the wrong file (it appears to be designed to apply to one of the SSDTs, not DSDT)
- the patch is designed for ACPIBacklight.kext
- this thread is in the Sierra forum
- ACPIBacklight.kext does not work on Sierra 10.12.4 and later

If you have Nvidia only (again, no "Problem Reporting" files attached... confirmation of profile impossible), you should look for a backlight solution that uses native kexts, not ACPIBacklight.kext.

No ioreg attached.
Also, you forgot to press F2 (as a result, no misc/preboot.log)
And you forgot to press F4 (as a result, ACPI/origin files are old)

No ioreg attached.

The app is attached to the post linked by the FAQ.
You run it by double clicking just as any other app.
The Save functions are on the File menu.
