Windows 10: How to fix my left control key?

So a couple weeks ago I had noticed that my left control key had started inputting as right control. This didn't happen when I first got my laptop and I'm wondering if there is a way to fix it.

tab and left control keys

My tab and left control keys on my keyboard aren't working. Many have suggested that Microsoft teams could be interfering but I don't have that on my computer. I have also run the test to see if it's a broken key and that is not the case either. Please help.

An alternative to the left control key please!

I have a new HP Pavilion laptop - which so far has one flaw: there is no right hand control key...
I am left handed and so I want to use a R/H control key when I want to select multiple non adjacent items from a list.
I have tried to remap one of the keys to the right of my touchpad to facilitiate this but the remapping does not give the functionality of the control key being pressed while the touchpad is used...
I have spoken to HP Support who were completely useless in this respect. The person I talked to said he only used his laptop on a desk with a mouse so could not help! And he told me that I should talk to Microsoft.
If anyone has any ideas of workarounds for this I'd be most grateful.
Thanks in advance...
