MacBook Pro 2017 13inch - Keyboard not responding, struggling to reset SMC

So I have the model with the T2 chip, and from researching online, I've read that one of the possible reasons my keyboard stopped working (besides the power button) is that the SMC needs to be reset. I've tried with both a wired Windows keyboard and a Bluetooth Mac Keyboard to do the (control+option+shift+power) method and either I don't get it to work or that simply just isn't the issue (How do I know if my SMC was reset? keyboard still not responding) . I should also mention that the Mac feels a lot hotter than usual.
