Hi @Robert Feranec, I've been struggling with one reference designator that just seem to not show up on the Bottom Layer, though I have toggled visibility on. It is present in the schematic as a designator.
In the meantime I might have found the culprit.
It shows up indeed in the schematic but somehow in the PCB editor it is deleted, or missing.

I fixed it manually.

For anyone experiencing a similar issue, this solution seems to work. I will check if this results in any conflict later.

Normally, the standard designators are placed on the overlay layers (either top or bottom overlay).
Showing or hiding it is through the button behind the textbox.
Clicking on the blue text "Designator" shows the properties of the designator itself (including layer and size).

Thanks for sharing @QDrives and the hint. I used it also, the eye symbol to hide / unhide designator. The issue was that even though this was active, the Designator in the Layout view was missing.
