Sadly this is a limitation with the old ribbon(s). The switch that makes the ribbon dark was only implemented in 1809 and it is currently impossible to replicate the old ribbon on the newer ribbon.

If you want to use the new ribbon instead of the old ribbon you can use sfc /scanfile to restore UIRibbon.

sfc /scanfile="C:\Windows\System32\UIRibbon.dll"

sfc /scanfile="C:\Windows\System32\UIRibbonres.dll"

sfc /scanfile="C:\Windows\System32\En-US\UIRibbon.dll.mui"

sfc /scanfile="C:\Windows\Syswow64\UIRibbon.dll"

sfc /scanfile="C:\Windows\Syswow64\UIRibbonres.dll"

sfc /scanfile="C:\Windows\Syswow64\En-US\UIRibbon.dll.mui"
