@anna: The bug, which this bug was marked as a duplicate of, is about a
specific gnome-control-center issue with the Right Alt/AltGr key. Your
problem seems to be unrelated to that. If you think your problem is a
bug, you should submit a new bug report.

Title:
Modifications ALT R mapping at xmodmap not taking effect
Status in x11-xserver-utils package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
How to map ALT Gr key as ALT R on Ubuntu 20.04?
As described in an Ask Ubuntu post, I've executed xev at Ubuntu 20.04
in order to discover ALT L and ALT R keycodes:
- ALT L: keycode 64 (keysym 0xffe9, Alt_L)
- ALT R: keycode 108 (keysym 0xfe03, ISO_Level3_Shift)
Running xmodmap -pke > ~/.Xmodmap, the following configuration was
saved:
keycode 64 = Alt_L Meta_L Alt_L Meta_L Alt_L Meta_L
keycode 108 = ISO_Level3_Shift NoSymbol ISO_Level3_Shift NoSymbol
ISO_Level3_Shift
Theoretically re-mapping 108 at ~/.Xmodmap should be enough:
keycode 108 = Alt_R Meta_R Alt_R Meta_R Alt_R Meta_R
However, even running xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap and also saving this command
at ~/.xinitrc, the modifications did not take effect immediately or
after login again at Ubuntu.
Thus it is not possible to execute extensible commands in Emacs using
ALT R + X at Emacs
So what is the proper way of changing ALT R behavior? Or is it a bug
at 20.04 release?
