Then that key is Super_L and your xkb config should be changed to make
it Meta_L.

Then, the Flag key is not meta, this is "normal". The (IMHO very
broken, but that's another discussion) default is that the Alt key
acts as Meta. You need to add the "altwin:left_meta_win" option to
your xkb config. Do you know how to do that?

What is your xkb config now (so that I can try to reproduce your
situation)?
