hd-idle and/or hdparm not available in 1.12.0

Hi. I am new to this forum and also the world of open-source firmware (on routers). 
I have spent almost a week now trying to find a solution so that I can have hd-idle or hdparm working on my TP-Link Archer c7 v2 in order to spin down my drive when not in use. I have tried searching through very old posts, and all the other related topics. I have also tried open-wrt which has the packages, but I couldn't for the life of me configure and get Samba working on it along with my machines. In Gargoyle, it is basically plug and play. I thank the developer for his work and giving me so many options.
That said, I would really like some insight/help in my hard drive issue. I believe it was included in some older versions, but I don't know why it isn't now. Any kind of response would be really happy. Sorry if I don't seem polite, and thanks for the responses beforehand!
