Gaps in floating floor (lemmy.world)

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?

It's not wood but vinyl.

Wood flooring needs to acclimatize to the environment for a few days before being installed (shrinks/swells with the moisture in the air).

Vinyl flooring are designed to latch together. Every board has to be completely seated and latched together. The only way to fix it now is to pick it all up and try again.
