Question

what am I missing?

app.js

let section = document.getElementsByTagName('section')[0];

section.addEventListener('click', (event) => {
  if (event.target.tagName == 'INPUT' )
  event.target.style.backgroundColor ='rgb(255, 255, 0';
});

index.html

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
    <head>
        <title>JavaScript and the DOM</title>
    </head>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" />
    <body>
        <section>

The "rgb" function call is missing a closing parenthesis (it was correct as originally provided).

Also, it was not necessary to change the parameter name, but that won't prevent it from passing.
