I DIY’ed the floor in my bedroom but I’ve got gaps like the one pictured in a few spots. What’s the best way to close these up?

There are methods to tap the boards around, Google should give you some viable options on how to get the "grip". I think using duct tape was one of the easier options.

Put duct tape down, cyanoacrylate with activator to glue a scrap piece of wood to the tape, hit with hammer as needed to adjust, peel up and repeat.

Or just lift it all and install it again but actually lock the planks together this time.
