If you're not aware, you can remap modifier keys in System Settings on macOS. It doesn't have individual settings for left/right versions of a modifier key, so keep it in whichever mode has the modifiers on left/right paired with each other correctly, and then swap their functions to the right ones.

Settings are per keyboard so fixing your external keyboard won't mix up any other keyboards you use (particularly for laptops).
