Whether I am using duplicate or copyPaste, my labels do not increment.

incrementing should be possible.
Auto increment only works during creation of new labels.
I used it to create the column of labels directly connected to the driver IC.
Then I manually created the “RGB” blocks by making a copy of the big columns and sorting them in a different order.
Try this:
- Press lower case “L” to create a label.
- Give it the name “itsko1”.
- Place it somewhere.
- Press the [Ins]-ert key a few times.
This results in a column of numbered itsko labels:
KiCad is just a computer program. It can’t look into my mind to see in which order I want the RGB labels sorted.

I also say the above with Insert having been tried and also not worked, but it’s placed in a weird spot on my bluetooth keyboard as a combo button.

Just continue as usual 
I don’t use Windoze, so I don’t know.
You can view (search through, re-assign, etc) all shortcut keys via: Preferences / Preferences / hotkeys
Same, I’m macOS.
Stated here, there’s no Insert key. This checks out:
CMD+D is listed with duplicate, but it doesn’t increment — there’s only a Duplicate and Increment in PCB Editor:
