Turning on scroll lock in hyprland

Hellooo, i need to enable scroll lock on my pc because it's the only way to turn my keyboard rgp, yes only when scroll lock led is on it's weird i know but it's a really cheap china keyboard.
I tried searching on google but i couldn't find any answer beside the two above and it somehow doesn't work not at all

I tried the

brightnessctl -d input25::scrolllock s 1

sudo sh -c 'echo 1 > /sys/class/leds/input25::scrolllock/brightness'

the problem is
   -first, it only activates 1 seconds and then immediately turns off
   -second, every time, the input number needs to be changed as it isn't consistent

-It do works during boot, like on the grub menu or on the ly display manager but as soon as the hyprland session -or any wayland session start, it turns off immediately
-I don't remember much but I think it worked when i used kde plasma but it was a really long time ago so i don't really remember

Thanks in advance and sorry for my english, it's not my native language, peace ✌️
