I think I know what's causing your problem. You are pressing down Shift, the plus sign, and a comma all at the same time, right? Well, try pressing just Shift and a comma at the same time and it should work (the plus sign is just telling you to press the keys at the same time). And for a closing angle bracket, you just need to press Shift and a period.

Hope this helps and happy coding! ~Alex
