Jesus was born under the law, so he kept the law of Moses.
That said there are a number of issues to understand:
(Gal 6:2 Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ )
Is the law of Christ the same as the Law of Moses? No.
Paul stated that to be under the law of Moses was to be in effect married/subject to him in his use of the marriage analogy in Romans:
(Rom 7:1-2 Or do you not know, brethren (for I speak to those who know the law), that the law has dominion over a man as long as he lives? For the woman who has a husband is bound by the law to her husband as long as he lives. But if the husband dies, she is released from the law of her husband. )
(Rom 7:3-4 So then if, while her husband lives, she marries another man, she will be called an adulteress; but if her husband dies, she is free from that law, so that she is no adulteress, though she has married another man. Therefore, my brethren, you also have become dead to the law through the body of Christ, that you may be married to another—to Him who was raised from the dead, that we should bear fruit to God. )
If you are following the law of Moses rather than being "dead" to Moses you are being adulterous and we'd have to stone you

You are correct; the law of The Anointed/Christ who is the man we call Jesus was not the same as the written Law of Moses. One was in text form and Jesus took that same Law and reunited it with the Spirit which He had without measure (Jn 3:34)! He came to "Fully Preach" the Law. Look at the context He made that claim;
Mat 5:17 KJV Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
Directly after the Sermon on the mount, the most famous impactful spirit filled delivery of the will of God ever given in the History of Mankind! He came to Fully Preach the Law!
Can you even begin to understand what the word fulfil meant in 1600's English? Do you think it means the same today?
