Post graduation work permit (PGWP) question

Hi everyone, I have a question about the pgwp application.

The completion of my program is April 29, 2022, the expire date for my study permit is Sept 30, 2022 and I applied for PGWP on Sept 7, 2022.

However, I found this on CIC website:
(
You have 180 days after your school issues your final marks to apply for a post-graduation work permit. To be eligible for a PGWP, your study permit must have been valid at some point during these 180 days.

When your study permit expires:
Your study permit will expire on the date marked on the permit or 90 days after the day you complete your studies, whichever comes first.
)

Based on this information, my study permit expired on July 29 (90 days after my program completion date). But my study permit has been valid at some point during these 180 days.
I'm very confused about this, I'm just wondering did anyone encounter this situation in the past and how did it go? Will it affect my pgwp application?

Thanks in advance!
