ACF not showing on Admin Menu in custom theme

I have purchased a custom theme that uses ACF Pro. I can see ACF Pro in the assets directory, and I can see the custom fields in the pages.

I want to alter some of the fields.

But the ACF admin panel appears nowhere on the admin dashboard.

How can I edit the fields in the theme / access the admin panel?

In admin.php , i have these which seem relevent:

	function __construct() {
	
		// actions
		add_action('admin_menu', 			array($this, 'admin_menu'));
		add_action('admin_enqueue_scripts',	array($this, 'admin_enqueue_scripts'), 0);
		add_action('admin_notices', 		array($this, 'admin_notices'));
		
	}
	
	
	/*
	*  admin_menu
	*
	*  This function will add the ACF menu item to the WP admin
	*
	*  @type	action (admin_menu)
	*  @date	28/09/13
	*  @since	5.0.0
	*
	*  @param	n/a
	*  @return	n/a
	*/
	
	function admin_menu() {
		
		// bail early if no show_admin
		if( !acf_get_setting('show_admin') ) {
			
			return;
			
		}

and in the acf.php this:

// options
			'show_admin'		=> true,

...

		// admin
		if( is_admin() ) {
			
			acf_include('admin/admin.php');
			acf_include('admin/field-group.php');
			acf_include('admin/field-groups.php');
			acf_include('admin/update.php');
			acf_include('admin/update-network.php');
			acf_include('admin/settings-tools.php');
			//acf_include('admin/settings-addons.php');
			acf_include('admin/settings-info.php');
		}
		
		
		// pro
		acf_include('pro/acf-pro.php');
