> even as an under level

> Had to take 2 years off for health issues

Either of these by themselves could explain your issues. Most employers don't hire people "under level" because that leads to the person being unhappy and quitting. Sometimes they also need a higher salary than the position offers.

Having a 2-year gap is a very big issue though. It's not fair, but it's a strong bias people have when hiring.
