EOS R6 Mark II light meter disappears when shooting on fixed ISO

[ImLMHK]

Hello. I'm having a problem with my R5 II that I hope you all can help me with. I normally shoot on manual with Auto ISO. When I do that, my light meter can be seen on the bottom of the screen. See Pic1. But when I change from Auto ISO to a fixed ISO, the light meter disappears from the bottom of the screen. See Pic2. I’ve changed the VF vertical display (found under Shooting display info under the 9^th (last) tab of the Shooting (red) menu) to Yes and No and back again. Repeatedly. It doesn’t help. The only thing that I’ve found that makes the light meter reappear at the bottom of the screen is to switch the ISO back to Auto. But that's not always the setting I want to use. Can anyone tell me how to make the light meter stay on the bottom of the screen regardless of my ISO setting? Thank you in advance. Mary

The light meter is visible at the bottom of the screen when shooting on Auto ISOThe light meter is no longer visible at the bottom of the screen when shooting on fixed ISO

My 1D DSLRs also had the right side vertical display. 
The R5 has a higher resolution EVF so that may affect the ability to have the vertical display. Maintain familiarity with pro-level DSLRs. 

I misread the original post.

The light meter which measures the brightness of the scene is different than the exposure compensation meter which is a manual override setting indicator. The two are not the same and not interchangeable. They have different functions.

On some cameras, like my Rebel T6S, the same display fulfills both functions.

Same as for the R6. Higher spec DSLRs (5D and 1D series) had two displays.
