Support How do I get Arabic qwerty English layout
I can't seem to figure out how to get the layout working on my keyboard and it's kinda important I figure it out quickly since I need it for work.

On KDE, System settings > Keyboard > Keyboard on the side tab > enable Layouts > click on the Add button next to Layouts > search for Arabic

I only get Arabic layouts. I need it to be in the Arabic qwerty layout with English.

Check Arabic (Sun Type 6/7). I’m sorry, I don’t speak Arabic, but there’s a preview button to check what the layouts are like, and from what I see, Arabic (Sun Type) is the one that has both QWERTY and the Arabic letters.

It should be on the layout list on the column to the left of the country list after selecting Arabic.

There is no layout list on the column to the left of country list. And all the different types of Arabic keyboards all obviously only have Arabic and no English characters. I do not need or want the ability to type in arabic I just want the correct layout. Sorry if this comes across as angry just really frustrated that I cannot seem to find a fix

I think you're confused, there is no Arabic & English layout in any OS.
Add 2 languages, English Qwerty layout, and Arabic layout, and you can switch between them via a shortcut.
