strange Jap ime prob

Ok so when ever i type the keys ( or ) they are on a different key like ( only works if i type 8 in japanese and ) only works if i type 9 in japanese, also 「 only works if i type ] in japanese and 」　only works if i type \ in japanese, additionally, if i type 。 and i cycle through the options i cant create the eyes for kaomoji and lastly i cannot create the ~ symbol in japanese, among other problems, i have no idea what i did wrong but I would really love to fix it!

Try mastering the art of English punctuation before tackling another language.

( only works if i type 8 in japanese and ) only works if i type 9 in japanese
Not sure in how far this is related, but I'm on a German keyboard here and 8 and 9 are exactly the keys designated for the parentheses on it (I actually use the US layout though, so I need to press 9/0). A physical Japanese keyboard would look similar, I guess?

Anyway, you didn't tell us which IME you're using, but if it is anything like SCIM+Anthy, you can just re-assign the keys as you see fit, as well as add new dictionary entries and manage those using something like Kasumi.
Refer to your IME's manual.

Punctuation is the least of his problems...

Get yourself a real Japanese keyboard. I hate n00bs who try to act like they are Japanese when at the same time they are too cheap to get a real Japanese keyboard. You can get them off ebay for like next to nothing.

is there anyone here with a brain that can help me?　

I already stated the IME in the title, who gives a FUCK about my punctiuation, NO im not going to buy a new keyboard, because its a laptop and I cant just replace it, jesus christ.

忘れてよ、お前らは頭がねええ、火で死ねえ！

Unless your IME's name is "strange" you didn't, retard. I know around a dozen different "Jap IME"s.
And what >>3 wrote holds true regardless, just read the fucking manual you dumb piece of shit.

threre is no manual...  just a useless bunch of help topics. I have been configuring and re configuring this keyboard for a whole 3 hours now, i am very upset, I am sorry for blowing up on everyone, I just really want to get it fixed because I use it all the time

I should mention that the tilde key "~" has turned into and input key (changes my languages) from half width english to japanese.

also I am using Japanese IME (i dont know how else to explain it) just your average basic japanese IME input method, my keyboard has seemed to switch to the layout of a japanese keyboard, and does not input the keys like it used to (like an american english keyboard)
