KMK keyboard presses register but dont show up

Hey there, I am using an raspberry pi pico, I have it on a breadboard so I dont have solder anything. My connections between the pins are fine, I've already checked that. I am using the kmk circuitpython library So this is my current code:

python
import time
import board
import digitalio
from lib.kmk.kmk_keyboard import KMKKeyboard
from lib.kmk.keys import KC

led = digitalio.DigitalInOut(board.LED)
b16 = digitalio.DigitalInOut(board.GP16)
b17 = digitalio.DigitalInOut(board.GP17)
led.direction = digitalio.Direction.OUTPUT

keyboard = KMKKeyboard()

while True:
    if b16.value or b17.value:
        led.value = True
        keyboard.tap_key(KC.A)
        print("pressed a")
        time.sleep(1)
    else:
        led.value = False

I've also tried the example code:

python
print("Starting")

import board

from kmk.kmk_keyboard import KMKKeyboard
from kmk.keys import KC
from kmk.scanners import DiodeOrientation

keyboard = KMKKeyboard()

keyboard.col_pins = (board.GP16,)
keyboard.row_pins = (board.GP17,)
keyboard.diode_orientation = DiodeOrientation.COL2ROW

keyboard.keymap = [
    [KC.A,]
]

if __name__ == '__main__':
    keyboard.go()

When I shorted the pins, in the serial it shows this debug info that it pressed the key and released the key. So in the serial, the output is fine, however when I'm in a text field it just doesnt send the button. The serial shows it works fine but the key is just not being sent? Has anyone encountered the same?
