There are dozens of ideas. It's ok if a researcher says, "I don't know."

Besides, Penrose has no idea either. He only adds an extra "quantum did it" layer between "this is what we know" and "this is how consciousness works."

Claiming a brain is a quantum computer doesn't answer any questions about consciousness.
