Dead Keys not working KDE Plasma, Nordic Keyboard layout. Works fine in Firefox

Im at a dead end with KDE as a non-us keyboard user. Installed Nobara KDE and set the settings to danish keyboard. (did NOT choose the "no dead keys" keyboard)

I cannot type any of the accent buttons like "`^~ in any KDE text promt, libreoffice, or Konsole. Only works in firefox and other misc applications. I've read many 3yr+ old posts saying that KDE has had problems with this and I cannot find a newer post saying that it is either fixed or if it is still an issue.

Does anyone have any news? Is it truly not possible to get it working? or do I really have to resort to using GNOME?
