General Help

I have an external keyboard that I connect to my laptop, and they have the same layout.
But somehow the '<' and '@' buttons are switched on the external keyboard.

I made a little video showing the switched button: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1BvLvMksVKqXlETMr2xl0WRDGnLLzK1N2/view?usp=sharing

Yes, others have asked about this in the past on the forum. I am not very good with the Forum Search feature... but if I recall correctly, it was due to having more than one layout set.
You might try setxkbmap I am using US_en, so my example would be:

setxkbmap -layout us

I tried to look for a list of all the keyboard layouts for setxkbmap but could not find the 'French (Macintosh)' layout.
