In the RC$^\star$ collaboration, we simulate lattice QCD+QED using $C-$periodic spatial boundary conditions to ensure that locality, gauge invariance, and translational invariance are preserved throughout the calculation. We present our progress in computing isospin-breaking (IB) corrections to the leading hadronic contribution to $(g-2)_\mu$. We compare two ways of including the IB corrections: the RM123 method and dynamical QCD+QED simulations, both with $C-$periodic boundary conditions. The two calculations are performed at $\beta=3.24$ with four flavours of $\mathcal{ O}(a)-$improved Wilson fermions; the QCD ensemble features $SU(3)-$symmetric sea quarks plus charm, while down and strange quarks are degenerate in QCD+QED gauge ensembles.
