if the keyboard is fucked

something something ansi layout instead of iso, ^ and < are swapped. sometimes macos runs the keyboard setup for logitech mouse and then ignores the keychron keyboard.

try removing the keyboard type plist, reboot and run the setup again.

sudo rm -fr /Library/Preferences/com.apple.keyboardtype.plist

or set the correct type 41 instead of 43, maybe automate it in the config sometime.
