Confusion on Small Gaps in Work Experience

Hi! Can someone experienced and well-versed in IRCC with Express Entry answer this?

For context, I have already submitted the application in the Express Entry pool and my profile is:
-Education: MS (WES equivalence)
-IELTS: CLB 9
-Age: 29
-Total Work Experience: 3 years
-Primary NOC Code: 2172
Overall Score of the submitted profile: 475

Work experience looks like this:
1. March 2016 - March 2017 (NOC Code 4012 - Skill A)
September 2017 - June 2019 Master's degree [Gap 1]
2. September 2019 - January 2020 (NOC Code 4012 - Skill A)
Covid Gap [Gap 2]
3. August 2020 - October 2021 (NOC Code 2172 - Skill A)
Job Switch Cap [Gap 3]
4. January 2022 - June 2022 (NOC Code 2172 - Skill A)

When I submitted the profile, the CRS score popped up as 475. I get to hear that gaps in work experience don't matter if one has at least 1 year of continuous work. However, IRCC Social Media Contact informed me once that my experience will be evaluated for 1 year only but the final decision will not be based on social media answers from us.

I am really confused!!!

Can someone please tell:
1)What are my chances in general with these gaps? How
2) How problematic are Gap 2 and Gap 3 compared to Gap 1?
2)How and will it impact PNP?

Thanks a lot for your patience to read this and cooperation!
