iPad OS 14 - can’t change external keyboard layout

I have bought a Bluetooth British layout external keyboard.

Keys do not map correctly and appear to take on the English (US) layout. ” -> @

The only keyboard language installed on my iPad is English (UK).

I have tried cycling through a bunch of different keyboard layouts in Settings > General > Keyboard > Hardware Keyboard. I keep getting the same problem.

I have tried installing the English (US) language on the iPad, and I still have the same problem after trying a range of combinations with Keyboard language and Hardware Keyboard layout.

Any suggestions?
