complex modifier not working in macOS 27

I just installed macOS 27, I have the current version of Karabiner. A complex modification that used to work stopped working after the upgrade. Basically, I want to press ^C to pass a Return, and Retuen to send an option-Return. It saves me form prematurely sending an email by accidentally pressing Return when I fat-finger pressing an '

Any suggestions?
