I'm going to hazard a guess you are already getting the proficiency in smith tools from somewhere else like a feat or race (e.g. dwarves). If you already get a proficiency, it won't show as an option in backgrounds, as per the PHB rules.

When I want to create a custom background, I cannot select the Smith's tools because it's missing.
I can see all the other tools, but not the Smith's tools.
Please add it to the custom background builder.

I've just made a character with the custom background and Smith's Tools are present, so I'd agree with Cyb3rM1nd's assessment

You are right! I don't recall having selected it in my race, but yes, it's there. Sorry for the wrong bug report.
S'all good, better than there being a bug!
