On some Android devices, like Samsung phones and tablets, you have to tap the Three-dot icon, and then choose “Quick Panel Layout” to edit the Quick Settings panel.

Look for a toggle with a Coffee Mug icon.

Next, move the “Caffeine” toggle to the main “Quick Settings” panel. Tap and hold it to drag it into position. On Samsung phones, you’ll drag the toggle from the top of the screen to the bottom. On Google Pixel and other phones, you’ll drag it from the bottom to the top.
