Latitude e7470: Brightness only toggles/adjusts after waking from sleep

On my Dell Latitude e7470, I had this issue that I haven't been able to resolve.
When I toggle my brightness, it only remains at maximum and nothing happens until I reach minimum (or close to minimum), at which point the screen either starts to flicker or goes black.

However, after I put the laptop in sleep (hibernate to be exact) and wake from sleep, the brightness adjusts exactly as intended.

I already installed AppleBacklightFixup.kext to /L/E but then removed it as it's already part of WhateverGreen.

I tried resetting NVRAM by running "sudo nvram -c". NVRAM appears to work, as the brightness level persists even after reboot. But the brightness level is ignored until waking from sleep.

Converted to OpenCore and double-checked I copied everything from Clover correctly...

Even with OpenCore, I still have the exact same issue. Perhaps there's an issue with the patch itself?

 

I attached the text files generated by OpenCore, in case they help at all.

 

On the bright side, anyone with a Dell Latitude e7470 can use my OpenCore folder, albeit with the brightness issue (haven't fully tested it though).

 

Note: Please place your unique Serial Number, UUID, MLB, and ROM in config.plist before using the folder.
