Change a key input on Mac foreign language keyboard?

I have a new Ukrainian-English magic keyboard (not silicon) from Apple that I'm using with a 2019 iMac with the latest version of Sonoma. When I choose the Ukrainian keyboard input with system settings, the "і" and the "и" keys are reversed compared to the key symbols printed on the keyboard. Any way to fix this, hopefully without using Terminal app? Obviously, I can't change the printed symbol on the keyboard. I want to change the iMac settings so the text input matches the keyboard. Thanks in advance.

iMac 27″, macOS 14.4

You just need to go to system settings > keyboard > text input > edit > input sources and use the minus button at the bottom to remove the item calledl "Ukrainian legacy". You should have only the item called "Ukrainian" on your list.

Thanks! I didn't notice there are actually 3 available Ukrainian keyboard options on the mac, only one of which matches the apple keyboard set up.
