Fn-Lock not working on external keyboard

I have an external keyboard connected to my laptop (easier usage). But the problem is Fn-lock function does nothing. On my laptop pressing Fn-Lock would allow me to access the other keys without holding down fn key.

On this external keyboard, to access the Fn keys, I must hold down the Function key and press what I need. Yes I realise I can inverse it on the BIOS but my laptop keyboard is the opposite (FN key by default, whilst this external keyboard is not fn by default)

Is there a way to hold the Fn key when Fn-Lock doesn't work?

To turn a brief comment into a brief answer…

Fn key combos are initiated within the keyboard itself, not in the computer. If the external keyboard has no dedicated Fn-Lock button, it cannot do it.

This is a no-fix situation.
