Are you using Monterey or Ventura?

In Monterey system preferences>keyboard>keyboard tab there is a button called modifier keys. Have you tried it?

are you able to use control-windows key to work instead of control-option for VoiceOver commands? If so, are you sure you need to change function? You might only need to change the key label, in which case you should go ahead and relabel the windows key and the alt key.
