Welcome to the forum.

Yes, you can fit the keyboard, and it will work. But the keys that moved around will not work right. For example if you press PgUp on your T420 keyboard, your T430 will read it as "Delete", because the Delete key on T430 keyboard is where the PgUp is on the T420 keyboard.

Thanks you!
But I think it can works normally with correct driver . Do you trying?

The problem is not the driver. The problem is the BIOS / embedded controller.

Software utilities to remap keys can help for some keys, but not for the keys that are physically absent on the T430, nor for the Fn-key combos, as these are hardwired.
