You have the stroke highlighted in the Gradient Panel.

The Gradient Annotator does not work or appear for gradients on strokes.
The annotator will only appear for fills.

  • @SuraiyaAbedin The annotator doesn't appear on compound shapes either. (Shapes with "holes" in them.) You don't need the annotator. All adjustments can be made in the Gradient Panel.
