HP Omen 15 not charging while on

[15t-ax200]

my hp omen 15t-ax200 cto is not charging while its powered on  when i plug in the ac adapter while the laptop is turned on the charging light goes from amber to white , only when the close the lid or shut it down does it seem to charge . i have no idea why this happens because the ac adapater is working and has the right wattage and voltage the battery is ok i did all the troubleshooting mobojumbo i could find from bios to power resetting and can't figure out this problem really the only solution i could think of is that i don't have some driver but i downloaded all drivers for my model thats on the hp website  and i seem to be missing all of the PCI drivers for the laptop but i can't find those 

while ac adapter is plugged in the battery icon shows its charging for a couple seconds while the charging light is amber but after the light turns white it returns to on battery
