Ugh, it's one of those hybrid systems. Try looking into PRIME. It's
the current method of dealing with these systems using open-source drivers.

I can run without vga=normal, but if I run without nomodeset, the graphics
never starts and I have to restart the machine.
But even without vga=normal, I get the same behavior.
Do you really need this? It is probably part of your problem.

That would explain why you have no backlight control. Try booting
without the "nomodeset" and see if that makes any difference. If not,
then see if you can find an existing bug report for your laptop. You
didn't mention which one you have.

If you really want to use the proprietary NVidia driver, get it from
rpmfusion. At least then, it's easier to revert if necessary and it's
much more likely to work.
Do you mean:
xorg-x11-drv-nvidia
?
The machine is a MSI GE62-6GD
