Problems with special keys on HP Probook 450 G6

This one confused me a little, as it works in exactly the opposite of what the arch wiki suggests for my laptop model...
All the standard indicator lights work (Caps, Numlock), but the indicators on the mute and mic-mute keys don't work, despite the keys working as they should (showing up as XF86AudioMute and XF86AudioMicMute in xev, as well as working normally in KDE, save for the lights). But the network key (which, according to the arch wiki, doesn't work/cannot be mapped) works perfectly, light and all.
The last issue being with the brightness keys, as they only sometimes work, sometimes I boot and they work normally, though more often than not, they just mute and unmute the mic.
