Interesting, have you activated the ‘bbPress WP Tweaks’ plugin ?
If so, then go to Dashboard > Settings > bbPress WP Tweaks > BBPRESS Side bar and for ACTION select REPLACE. for TARGET select SIDEBAR WIDGET AREA.

Then the BBPRESS Widgets sidebar should be accessible if you go to Dashboard > Appearance > Widgets > BBPRESS Sidebar

If that does not work, you may ave to try with a different theme
