Welcome to the HP Community.
We can help by providing the needed information - unfortunately, we cannot give you what you want.
The Advanced section is where the ability to adjust the timeout is controlled.
In general, consumer grade systems do not include the Advanced section.
Lacking the control option to adjust the timeout, you cannot set the back light to remain all the time.
BIOS – Backlit Keyboard and other Advanced Options
This is one of those situations where the how-to document mentions that a particular feature might not be supported on every computer. The document does not offer an exact explanation because the document is not written for YOUR computer.

HP Notebook PCs - Using the Backlit Keyboard
Section: The backlight stays on for only a few seconds
Excerpted from the document:
Note: If there is not a setting for the backlight timing in the BIOS, this behavior might not be supported on the notebook. Check your notebook model's product support documentation to confirm support.
Discussion
