Can't select "Add layer mask"

[AlexABAG]

Hi guys,

Having some issues with my photoshop today. I was wondering if anyone could help me out.
So for some reason unknown to me I can't seem to select the add layer mask tool. It appears to be permanently selected.

Here are some screen shots attached below so you can see what I am talking about.

Thanks in advanced to anyone who might know what the issue is.
