Doesn't the Dead Sea Scrolls prove Muhammad was lying when he said the Torah was changed and corrupted?

I apologize if I offended anyone with that question. Muhammad is venerated in Islam and there are some places where calling Muhammad a liar will get you thrown in jail or beheaded. I travel to Muslim countries quite often so I know. However, clearly the dead sea scrolls, if they are correctly dated, disproves a lot of what is written in the Quran.

No. The Dead Sea Scrolls made a case that there is some similarity to the Masoretic Text between the two scriptures (for roughly 40% of the scriptures if I recall correctly). There is a near millenia gap between the two scriptures (with a lot of differences and some books and parts too different to reconcile)

This doesn't make any case to establishing changes or corruption taking place in the scriptures and twaching. The aligned parts could still be corrupt. One of the differing parts could be corrupt or correct

This made actually made even more issues in solidifying what is canon because of how mutable the texts could be across those eras with no accountability, reference, and reliable transmission
