I can confirm the bug using KDE 5.19.5 on a Teclast X98 Pro tablet. The keyboard always appears at the top of the screen.
I do not know if this might be related at all, but the screen is set to be rotated 180° in my case.

I have the same issue with Plasma 5.20.3 on 
Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon (Gen 6)

I encounter the same issue on Plasma 5.20.2. I was hoping this would be corrected in plasma 5.20.3 but it does not seem to be the case. :-(
We will have to wait plasma 5.20.4 :-(
