That (the fact that you do not have "Hardware Keyboard" in Settings>General>Keyboard) is weird.

Is your iPad Pro 11" 2nd gen updated to iPadOS14.5 or later?

Have you already tried to "reconnect" your Magic Keyboard (perform a forced restart in advance) using these instructions?:--> Set up and use Magic Keyboard for iPad - Apple Support

and/or these ones:--> If you can't connect your iPad to your Magic Keyboard, Smart Keyboard, or Smart Keyboard Folio - Apple Support
