How to remove Universal Access icon from GDM?

Hello,
I have a HiDPI screen so I had to increase the text size, when I do this the "Universal Access" icon appears at the top bar of Gnome which is easily removed with a gnome extension. Here they hide the icon without any extention but in /usr/share/gnome-shell/ there isn't any js directory or .js file so I had to do it installing an extention, solution I dislike.

My problem is that I can't hide the Universal Access icon in the Gnome login screen, I have been searching for any solution but none of them seems to work for me. There are some threads in Fedora or Ubuntu forums where they just have to edit some file but I couldn't find any of this files in my computer.

I'm running Gnome 3.24.2 and Wayland if that's relevant. The solution may be very obvious but I have been investing lots of time in it and It isn't taking me anywhere.

[Some of my research]

The GDM article in the Wiki wasn't helpful for me, I think I need help to understand the dconfig-editor

I tried using the dconfig-editor as they say in Red Hat but I don't have as much values to edit at is showed in the screenshot of that page, in fact I have very few.

Here there is a post where I think they refer to removing the permanent Universal Access Icon in the top bar, but not when large text is actually activated. Also, those settings are no longer in settings>keyboard>accessibility tab>dissable autostart but in Preferences>Universal Access>Uncheck "Show always universal access menu"
