Disabling privacy guard on thinkpads

Hello, so I've got a new T14s gen 2 amd, have installed arch on it and have pretty much everything functional apart from a small issue... I can't seem to be able to turn off privacy guard on this laptop. In Windows, one just needed to press Fn+D to turn it off/on, but this doesn't work in arch. Does anybody have a thinkpad with the same screen feature and managed to turn it off? Thank you!

I have a X1G9 and Fn+D works out of the box. Maybe one of the following packages will help:
- acpid
- linux-firmware
And make sure to use the newest available firmwares with fwupd
