`M-.' is what Emacs is seeing instead of `M->'.
`M-,' is what Emacs is seeing instead of `M-<'.

IOW, the Shift key is not working correctly for you (assuming that `>' is shifted `.' and `<' is shifted `,').

Does the shift key not work correctly in some other cases?

What does Emacs tell you when you do `C-h k' and then try to use `M->' or `M-<'?

You probably need to provide more info about your environment, for people to help.

Be aware that you can use `ESC >' and `ESC <' instead of `M->' and `M-<'.  But of course, you need at least to be able to have the `>' and `<' keys working.
