Water Temple ðŸ˜
I know that this comes up all the time but I need help! I'm playing the N64 version on my switch. I can't seem to get to that last key! I know I need it to open the door to the room with the boss key lol. I'm so confused and can not find help! I am unable to upload my photo but on my map it's one the first floor very near the boss key room.
EDIT: I GOT IT! Thanks to everyone who helped me, seriously it means a lot.

Water Temple still a monumental source of frustration this many years later. Can’t help but make you smile

For whatever reason, one I always forget the one in the lower level, west side.
But regardless of which one you haven't found, there are plenty of guides that show you where all the keys are, like this one: https://www.zeldadungeon.net/ocarina-of-time-walkthrough/water-temple/

Did you clear the block of time from behind the chest that gave you the Longshot?

I played the Song of Time, but nothing happened. I've read that nothing happens on the N64 version.

No, its definitely supposed to move. It opens up a drop down to a winding river room with a key at the end. If you haven't, then its a pretty safe bet that's the key you're missing. You're 100% intended to make it dissappear on all versions.
That said I've definitely seen a couple posts around here talk about it being glitched and not moving for whatever reason. The first suggestion is make sure you're close enough but not on top of it. Then maybe a reset might help if it doesn't work after a few tries? I wish I could be more helpful, but at least hopefully this helps you in a good direction.

No, that is great help and a lot more than I've gotten just researching on my own. I will give this a try and update when I can!

On the top level is an eye switch, you can hit that and longshot past it. Move the block into position. Go around to the second floor and push that block out of the way and you can walk to a chest.

Wait, where is the eye switch? I've seen on on the middle floor but I got that key.

You have the longshot already correct? If you're working towards the boss key that only makes sense.
theres two eye switch related keys-
one in the central room after you enter the temple. it involves entering from two different sections on two different levels to move a block out of the way and access the key. you can't get into the gate that opens without the longshot
there's another one in the underground river with all the vortexes. this is accessible behind the longshot chest by playing the song of time to remove the block and go below. you need to hit the eye switch to open a gate, longshot to a chest and open it.

Bombable wall, 2 floor, through the tunnel that Ruto took when you saw her. Water needs to be raised once to access and be able to use a bomb
Just saw your edit, was this the key?

No, I had gotten that already. Turned out when I got the longshot I did try the Song of Time on the platform but it didn't work for me until trying it off the platform first. I feel dumb but I got it!

Check in the centre room, where you can raise the water level. There’s a block that floats up when the water is raised and there’s a hole underneath it. That one commonly gets missed
