adjusting bar width/stacked column chart

Hi. 

PBI version 2.121 

I have a simple stacked bar chart and I want to decrease the width of the bars. I have checked and triple checked the format pane for any option of adjusting the width. I also have a similar report that I did last year, same version of PBI where I can open it and see the options i used to adjust the bar width. For some reason, in this most recent bar chart, the options are missing. Any idea why I cannot view those options? Thanks

If only it were that simple. As shown in my photo, I don't have a layout option. 

Hence, the post.
