How do I fix this without reverting to older version?

Just use the official image from downloads.openwrt.org to sysupgrade then install the packages you need.

I would not advice using attended sysupgrade for a major version upgrades. As in your case, some packages were missing. You also don't know, what other important packages might be missing.
Better upgrade the normal way with sysupgrade, check keep data and then just install the packages you need to get your functionality back. All their configs are kept.
