I'm a complete novice when it comes to Linux, this is my first time installing Ubuntu. I've Msi Bravo 15.
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 4600H GPU: AMD Radeon 5500M
I'm unable to change the brightness of my screen, I booted in replacing quiet splash with nomodeset. I ran lshw -c video as written in one of the answers that I read.

The kernel version is 5.8.0 (if relevant)
I've seen a few solutions which I believe might work such as this and this, but even after googling a lot about the commands, I'm unable to make sense of it. The answers are particularly written for users who have a bit of history with Linux I believe. I've already tried updating every driver to latest version. Based on the comment, here is the output for lspci -nnk | grep -i vga -A2

Another thing to note is that, the model I have was probably made for Indian market, it has american style keyboard layout, and 16 gigs of RAM instead of 8 on the German one.
Can someone provide a more detailed solution as what to do?
