The Latin American layout is the Spanish keyboard most people in Mexico, Argentina, Colombia, Chile and Peru use. Like the Spain layout it has Ñ right of L and ¿ ¡ beside Backspace, but the symbol keys differ: | and ° take the top-left key, the curly and square brackets { [ and } ] sit on the two keys next to Enter, and @ is AltGr+Q. The board is ISO, so you also get the tall Enter and the < > key beside the left Shift.
Work through every row, then the number row with Shift for ! " # $ % & / ( ) =, and try AltGr+Q for @. The accent keys ´ ¨ and ~ are dead keys — the tester still registers the physical press immediately, so you can verify the switch without typing a vowel afterwards. Check that the < > key and the two bracket keys beside Enter all light up; they are the ones absent from US boards.
Your operating system is set to Spanish (Spain) instead of Spanish (Latin America). The two layouts share most keys but swap the ones beside Enter, so the symbols look scrambled. The physical keyboard is fine; pick “Latin American” in your language settings and use this page to confirm each key.
