Could you be more specific about the context in which you get an
incorrect layout (console, Xorg, Wayland, GNOME, etc.)?
Note that locale settings and keyboard layout settings are entirely
separate—choosing the “de_DE” locale gives you programs that speak
German, but it does not give you a “qwertz” layout. See:

HTH,
Ludo’.
