incorrect keyboard layout for Linux servers

I have a strange issue going on. When I build a linux server (Ubuntu and Centos) in Eve-ng even though I choose UK keyboard layout some of the keys don't function such as #.
Tried changing keyboard layouts but seems to affect them all especially with the # key. Doesn't seem to affect the pre-built linux images but those don't allow me to install certain applications such as Visual Studio Code for some reason so have to use a vanilla linux image.
