(7300-G4-400) /home/philippe >xmodmap -pm
xmodmap:  up to 2 keys per modifier, (keycodes in parentheses):

shift       Shift_L (0x32),  Shift_R (0x3e)
lock        Caps_Lock (0x42)
control     Control_L (0x25),  Control_R (0x6d)
mod1        Alt_L (0x73)
mod2        Alt_L (0x73)
mod3        Mode_switch (0x40)
mod4      
mod5      

Looks all right ...

and for xev:


(7300-G4-400) /home/philippe >xev
Outer window is 0xc00001, inner window is 0xc00002
<...>
KeyPress event, serial 23, synthetic NO, window 0xc00001,
    root 0x36, subw 0x0, time 1611532558, (666,461), root:(731,548),
    state 0x0, keycode 62 (keysym 0xffe2, Shift_R), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 0 characters:  ""

KeyRelease event, serial 28, synthetic NO, window 0xc00001,
    root 0x36, subw 0x0, time 1611532626, (666,461), root:(731,548),
    state 0x1, keycode 62 (keysym 0xffe2, Shift_R), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 0 characters:  ""
