Button Back Lighting
I did not know they had back lighting until I read the book, been riding the bike for 2 years. Go to setup, display, then button brightness. The back light will turn on and the brightness can be adjusted. As soon as I leave that display the back light turns off never to be seen again ...

Page 50 - Button Brightness
Just as you listed, but did you read the "Notes"?
The faceplate button lighting remains off when the radio is in Day Colors mode.
I don't like the night color mode, so mine is in day colors all the time.
It does not bother me that the button brightness doesn't work in day color mode, since I never touch them anyway.

What version of software are you running? There was a bug for a while (that I had anyways) where the lights would come on right at startup and then shut off after the Accept screen. The only way to turn them back on was to adjust their brightness in the menu - then they'd work.
With the last few revisions of software they have worked correctly and stay on like they should.

The OP is asking about the button brightness on the Boom display.
Page 50 of the 2015 Boom manual:
The brightness settings do not affect the brightness of vehicle instruments, illuminated hand control switches (on select models) or other accessories.

The OP said he can only get the lights to come on is if he adjusts the brightness.....
He is not asking about the brightness..
Taken from the online 2015 manual...
Automatic Colors:
Screen automatically adjusts day/night
color modes according to ambient light measured by the
sensor in the speedometer
So, to the OP....try covering the speedo with cardboard or something so the bike thinks it's dark out....the lights on the boom should come on, as well as the gauge lighting
