DAW Piano roll key helper not in key when using Scaler Keys - Lock

FL Studio user here but i’m sure this goes for most piano rolls, I use helpers on the piano roll because I don’t know music theory well enough yet so I put it in the same key as Scaler but when I use the “Keys - Lock” tool (white notes only) freestyling notes, understandably it does not enter in the piano roll in key since Im using keys lock. Now when I map out say the 808 it does not follow in key on my piano roll.

Sorry for the lengthy post I tried to make it as simple as possible. Thanks in advance!
