Brightness control won't work when using Intel iGPU (Supergfxctl Hybrid)

I’m having an issue in Fedora 41 where my brightness control can’t be accessed by my Intel iGPU.
Brightness control works correctly when booting into AsusMuxDgpu mode via supergfxctl --mode, but when booting into Hybrid mode, the brightness slider stays controlled by the Nvidia dGPU. I figured this out by running brightnessctl while in Hybrid mode and getting this output:

>sudo brightnessctl
Device 'nvidia_0' of class 'backlight':
        Current brightness: 48 (48%)
        Max brightness: 100

I have tried manually changing the target for the brightness profile via brightnessctl -d intel_0 set , which also didn’t work.
This has been an issue since I installed Fedora 41 fresh after moving from another distro.
