My laptop must have a malware, I tried to move all of my other funds from the ledger to exchanges until I sort my computer and my ledger out. I tried to copy an 0x hex address from the exchange, and when I pasted it, it was a different address!!!!

If I understood you correctly, only BTC was stolen with the help of clipboard malware - which means that you had to make a transaction in which the malware replaced the address, and that the seed was not compromised.

This is the transaction where my ledger funds were transferred to another address :

Coins are still at that address, but by checking it I didn't find that it can be connected to some crypto service. What you can do right now is write an email explaining your situation and sending it to as many crypto-exchanges as possible, because a hacker might make a mistake and send stolen funds to one of those exchanges - and they can then freeze coins. What you definitely need to do is sign messages from all the addresses from which the BTC was stolen as proof that you are indeed the real owner.

I won’t lie to you that your chances are great, but you have the choice to come to terms with the loss, or to try to do something.
