Windows 10: Windows 11 laptop keyboard issues, some keys not working

on Dell Vostro 15 7150, Windows 11. I have tried every single solution that I have found on the internet. Troubleshooting isn't even available in settings, I don't see the keyboard troubleshoot option no matter what I do. I have tried every command prompt solution, including hardware scan, DISM scan, and running the system file checker. I have reinstalled windows. I disassembled the laptop, blew compressed air on everything, cleaned the fans of dust, blew air in the keyboard cracks, reattached the keys. I have deleted the drivers, restarted to reinstall and the keys worked for about 3 minutes
