What a key produces will depend on the input language set in System Settings, not what is printed on the key.
Without knowing what input language you have selected, it's pretty difficult to tell you where the question mark would be located.
If you go to System Settings ➜ Keyboard ➜ Input Source ➜ Edit, what languages do you have added there?
Normally the question mark should be on the shift+/ key at least in US and British English layouts. If it's not, then there's possibly some other input language layout selected. Or the shift key may have an issue.
You can text the shift key in the Input source screen by selecting a language in the list on the left side to bring up the keyboard. Pressing the shift key, should change the picture of the keyboard on thew right to show that characters accessible when the shift key is pressed

Is that the only key that does not produce what it should when you hold down the right or left shift key?

From what I can see yes

So you can make / with both the shifted and unshifted / key, but all other keys work fine?
