How to edit registry values with Autohotkey?

I made a autohotkey script to toggle appmode in Windows to dark/light them when I click F6 button as follows:

F6::
{
    RegRead, appMode, HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Themes\Personalize, AppsUseLightTheme
    RegWrite, REG_DWORD, HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Themes\Personalize, AppsUseLightTheme, !appMode
}

The script is running, but it's not changing the appmode. I'm new to Autohotkey, I think there will be a % sign before variable, but I don't understand where to place it.
