I have a brand new Maximus XI Code motherboard, was doing the same as yours. My upper left RGB lighting was so very dim, you had to be in darkness to see the barely detectable bleed of the lighting.
I found a post from another member with a similar issue, like him I loosened the screws holding the plastic shields in place (these are under my motherboard, so had to remove it to gain access) and found several RGB power cables that were not seated completely.
I just re-seated the cables, put the shielding back on and like magic I have a working board!
You might want to consider this option, I called ASUS they wanted me to send the board in, a 10-12 day return time.
Hope this helps you out...

The original lighting on the I/O shield cover was so dim only one vertical / diagonal Line could be made out, this was the same going to the middle and lower portion of on the motherboard.
Once I reseated two of the cables under the plastic cover all lines were then visible, they are not as bright as the product photo shows!*
Reseating the connectors was helpful in illuminating all the areas of the motherboard, they are not as bright as the Asus design though, I guess it’s just the way the board was designed.
I’ll try and get a photo for you, we’re out of town so may be a few days.
