Dell keyboard kb216t1 has two different keys that work as same

Help

Hi, I recently entered a new company where they provided me a Dell keyboard kb216t1 as shown above. highlighted keys are "?/°" and "Ctrl (Right)".

Expected behaviour should be that when I press:
"?/°" only: "/"

"?/°" + shift: "?"

"?/°" + ctrl (left) + alt: "°"

which in fact occurs. that key is working properly.

but when I press ctrl (right), only or using shift/ctrl (left)+alt the same previous behaviours occurs, when ctrl right should be working the same as ctrl left.

I installed microsoft power toys so I could remap ctrl (right) to work as ctrl (left), but it did not work, as shown above:

I actually pressed "ctrl right" key instead of "/" but it was not recognized. Then I tried to manually select ctrl right and remap as ctrl left, but ctrl right still worked as "?/°"

What can I do to solve that?
