I just encountered the very same problem as you did almost a year ago. Assuming you found another way in the meantime I propose this answer mainly for future readers.

You can force the fullscreen button to be visible with the help of CSS:

video::-webkit-media-controls-fullscreen-button {
    display: inline !important;
  }

You may also style other video player control elements as written here.
