Describe the bug
Can't send some remapped Super combo keystrokes from Win10 2004 Server to macOS 10.145.6 client, using Barrier 2.3.3-release-3395cca9 on both systems.

Super and Alt are reversed in the config for the macOS client. My options config section is as follows:

# Desktop right
keystroke(Control+Super+Right) 	= keystroke(Control+Right)
# Desktop left
keystroke(Control+Super+Left) 	= keystroke(Control+Left)
# Desktop control
keystroke(Super+Tab) 		= keystroke(Control+Up)
# Capture screen portion
keystroke(Shift+Super+\u0073) 	= keystroke(Shift+Super+\u0034)
# Quit
keystroke(Alt+F4) 		= keystroke(Super+\u0071)

Interestingly, if I add Control to the Super+Tab combo, the remap works. For instance, changing

# Desktop control
keystroke(Super+Tab) 		= keystroke(Control+Up)

...to

# Desktop control
keystroke(Control+Super+Tab) 	= keystroke(Control+Up)

...the keystroke is sent correctly to the Mac and I am able to trigger Mission Control. Removing the Control and the keystroke no longer works.

Expected behavior
Control+Super+Right on the Windows server should send Control+Right on the Mac client to switch desktops; Super+Tab on the Windows server should send Control+Up on the Mac client; etc.

Desktop:

Server: Windows 10 2004
Client: macOS 10.145.6
Barrier: 2.3.3-release-3395cca9

Additional context

Using MX Keys with Logitech Options 8.10.154.
