Hello.I recommend using mail with the domain of your site (on hosting) to send letters from the site.
"i want to use my gmail email for sending the form." - this is not the best idea. But try this https://support.google.com/mail/answer/7126229?hl=en#zippy=%2Cstep-change-smtp-other-settings-in-your-email-clientand disable two-factor authentication on your Google account https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/1064203?hl=en&co=GENIE.Platform%3DDesktop

I couldnt get it working with gmail,so i ended up using my own domain email, it works but i would have to have used gmail instead, anyways thanks for all your help.
Hello,
If the email is sending with your own email domain default, the software is running fine. If not with gmail probably not an issue with WSX5. Ask to your provider is they have some logs to investigate them
Enjoy!

You can test email sending from your PC to find good SMTP settings with SMTP Diag tool available here

"can someone send me a screenshot of the settings that work 100% please?" - These settings are individual. Check with your hosting provider.
Also try different versions of PHP. For example, 7.3 or 7.4.
