How to change the <> key reassigned to right ctrl?

Hello,

I have a recent HP Omen computer and I had to send it back due to a motherboard issue.
Still under warranty, it has been repaired, but upon receiving it, it seems that the keyboard has been reset to a traditional French AZERTY layout. This means that on my bottom row of the keyboard, I visually have:

CTRL FN WINDOWS ALT SPACE ALTGR <> directional keys

and the Insert/Delete key is only recognized as a right CTRL key (just like ALT). I was able to verify this by activating the on-screen keyboard and pressing the key.
It's quite inconvenient as I code a lot in R. Having to type alt+60 or 62 is unpleasant when I have the key to type it.

I have tried:

Clavier + which did not allow me to assign just the 'right ctrl' key, always ctrlD+ another key
Microsoft Keyboard Layout Creator, which did not allow changing this same key.
SharpKeys, but I didn’t know the mapping for the insert/delete key so I couldn't modify the assignment.

I hope I've provided enough information for you to guide me. Thank you for reading this message.
Have a good day.
Vincent

    If you haven't found a solution yet, you can change the functions of your keyboard keys with simple scripts that you can write using AutoHotkey Script.
    For example, I do a lot of copy/paste, so I wrote a very simple AutoHotkey file: 
    F1::^c F2::^v

    I assigned the Copy function to the F1 key
    and did the same for Paste on the F2 key

    It's very easy to use... I hope this helps you.
