2021 Magic keyboard is not supported on Catalina, need kext

The new 2021 Magic Keyboard officially Works with MacOS 11.4 or higher, Catalina is the highest MacOS my Mac supports.

Since it is not supported, the function keys don’t work and the battery percentage is not displayed.

There are 3rd party apps that map function keys but I want to try to manually install the keyboard driver, can someone who is on MacOS 11.4 or later help me out and upload the .kext file for the Magic Keyboard?

If you are referring to the keyboards with Touch ID they also require Apple silicon Macs. Plus, it's not permissible or possible to upload .kexts here.
