Don’t think you will need filters for night time photography, try it without see how you get on.

hope it help   https://store.dji.com/guides/drone-nd-filters-work-and-use/

Long-exposure shots are relatively easy to take at night with a DJI  drone since their cameras are stabilized. Just set a low shutter speed  and press the shutter button. If you are capturing cars, boats, or any  other illuminated objects moving at night, you will end up with some  cool light trails like in the picture below. 003118l8887qi9j2zq6zuj.jpg

so I just looked a the pdf from dji and I think it has the controls backwards and definitely upside down.  so I am guessing the button with the red on it is to stop and start your video right beside the flight mode toggle and the one to open the shutter for long exposures is the larger one on the inside top right,  beside the button that has the pause symbol on it?  I am going into the city tonight and it is fairly calm and just above zero so I am going to try my hand at some night stills

No filters at night, you need all the light you can get.

I would not count on the button to function as you think, can't remember to have seen any bulb setting, you might manually set a long shutter speed.
Also make sure ISO is set manually to avoid too grainy shots, 800 would be max but i believe lower is better, all depend of the style your aiming for.
