MacBook Pro 2020 Scissor-Switch Shift Key mechanism

My right shift key (Spanish layout) didn't work well and I took it off to fix it. Now I don't know how to put it back correctly. The mechanism is different than the old models. Does anyone know how to fix it?

If I try to put it back it stays like this ( that's the problem)

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.4

Delete Key Switch Type for 2015 Macbook Pro My delete key was a tiny bit sticky so I took it upon myself to remove and clean it. The hinge came apart when I popped the key off so now I need to put it back together. I've done this for numerous iMac keyboards and the switch mechanism has been very easy to reinstall. The delete key on my 2015 Macbook Pro is impossible for me to understand. I have spent about an hour and a half going through youtube videos and websites and I still can't figure it out. It just does not hinge together in a logical way to me and I can't set it into a logical position. This hinge type does not look like any other hinge I can find. I don't understand why this hinge type looks different to all the available tutorial videos. Even the examples shown on keyboard replacement websites look different. Can anyone please tell me what key type this is and if there is a guide for me to reinstall it? (Please don't simply tell me to take it to a service center, I don't have one near me and I would feel very silly going several hours out of my way to take it in for repair to put a key back on it. I am confident I can manage this with the right instruction.) Thanks for any help!!! Below is the picture of my 2015 Macbook Pro Delete Key Hinge

Absent Curly Brackets Keys "{ }"- MacBook Pro Portuguese Keyboard Dear community members, I bought a MacBook Pro M3 from Portugal, with a keyboard in Portuguese. I saw there are no opening and closing curly brackets "{ }" natively on this keyboard. After using the "Option" key combined with any other key, do not return these curly brackets. "Option + 'parentheses'" returned me square brackets "[ ]" instead. So is there a way to remap keys on the MacBook Pro keyboard so I can switch from any useless symbols to curly brackets or get them natively using some combination keys? In time: the Apple support website Atalhos de teclado do Mac - Suporte Apple (PT) does not have the answer. Thank you in advance! Sincerely, Marcelo Regis Bernardo

It's solved. I went to an Apple Store and they changed my key, it seemed to be in good condition but for some reason it didn't work.

I recommend not removing the keys, instead follow the apple cleaning instructions.
