Hello Antonio,

You should first remove a specific function (Control_R) from its global
function (Control) before binding a new keycode to it. An example will
be more clear:

instead of doing:
keycode 94 = Control_R
add Control = Control_R

do:
remove Control = Control_R
keycode 94 = Control_R
add Control = Control_R


About assigning Hyper_L to mod3. On my system Hyper_L is bound to mod4.
You can verify if it applies to yours by executing 'xmodmap' without
arguments. So I first need to unbind it from mod4, then bind it to mod3.

remove mod4 = Hyper_L
add mod3 = Hyper_L

Hope this helps,
Giovanni
