[Solved] Keymap layout jumbled after adding dongle to splikb_aurora_corne

[ripe zealot]

hello, I tried to add a dongle (xiao_ble) to my splikb_aurora_corne (nice!nano v2) today and got mostly everything working so far, both keyboard halves are peripheral and connect to the dongle, the dongle receives the connection and sends key inputs to my laptop.

The problem is that the keys it sends to my laptop are not the keys i configured in my keymap, they seem to be shifted and/or misaligned.
I followed the zmk dongle guide as much as possible, though i am on nixos so the file structure is slightly different.

I'll attach my repo and in what way the keys are jumbled up in a second, would be really thankful if someone could help :)

my config is here https://codeberg.org/Ti-mmm/tmp
the custom dongle is in the config/board/shields/splitkp_aurora_corne and to my understanding, when i build it with nix it "appends/merges" it with the existing definitions for the corne config from zmk

Here's what some of what my previous keymap and the current jumbled one looks like
TAB Q W F P B J L U Y ; RALT
DEL A R S T G

here's what the jumbled keys the dongle sends:
NOTHING TAB Q W F P B J L U Y ;
Y ; RALT DEL A R

so it seems the keys are one collumn off somehow

You want the physical layouts and matrix transforms exactly the same as the original shields. Your dongle shield has only one physical_layout0, https://github.com/zmkfirmware/zmk/blob/main/app/boards/shields/splitkb_aurora_corne/splitkb_aurora_corne.dtsi has two.

thank you i got it working. Also had to follow the guide for the "dongle with studio" on the dongle zmk page, should the docs maybe be updated since using the "dongle without studio" did not include any of that info even though it should or is this just my fault?
