Keyboard handling in NX is complicated for a couple of reasons.
Keyboard handling in NX using MacOS is even more complicated. X2go
already handles this for you.

However, you have been changing the keyboard settings in Gnome which
kind of breaks that handling. You should never touch the keyboard from
inside the session. Try to configure Gnome not to change keyboard
(which might be impossible; at least it seems so on Centos7).

You could also try to disable the XKEYBOARD extension in x2goagent on
the server by adding

-extension XKEYBOARD

to /etc/x2goagent/options (not sure about the exact filename, I do not
have a x2go system at hand at the moment) and start a new session.
