Little Extra edit for more info: I’m Pepis Tire noodles as well, and I know it’s Tubeless alto no clue how this valve works since it’s not the typical presta Valve I see in Tutorials.Any help appreciated since I’m confused how to refill the tubless fluid on this Valve.

It’s a Fillmore Reserve valve for tubeless tires. It has no valve core for higher airflow, which helps seating tires.
Pump your tire up like any other value. Reduce tire pressure by slighly turning the valve cap and pressing on the cap. The more you turn it, the more air gets out.
Downside: Refilling sealant through the valve might be tricky depending on your sealant choice. For instance, latest Silca will not work. (according to their latest Q&A video).

It’s just a Presta valve with a fixed core… no?
If it is, then the answer is you can’t (easily) get sealant into the tyre through the valve with a non-removable core… you’ll have to partially un-seat the tyre, put the sealant in that way, re-seat they tyre & inflate…
If you’re running tubeless, removable core (or the newer coreless) valves are a must as otherwise getting tyres to seat on first fitting can be tricky without a high-pressure hose or Airshot-type device
