Out of US for 8 months on Green Card. Any effect on 5 years required for citizenship?

Hi,

I received my green card on May 2018 (Resident since date on my card). After spending a month in the US. I had to go back to my home country to finish my bachelor's degree since only the last semester remained and I didn't want to leave it after 3.5 years. I spent 8 months out of the US. Upon arrival, although I was asked about the long absence (as expected), I was able to answer all questions and even has proofs (degree, etc.) which didn't end up being required and I was allowed in.

I've been in the US since (March 2019) and only left for a small vacation of 3 weeks last month. I wanted to know if these collective absences affect my chances for May 2023 (5 years after issuance date of GC)?

More importantly - When I click on "View PDF" link under "N-400 Application for Naturalization", to see my actual N-400 form, I get " {"data":null,"error":{"developerMessage":null,"userMessage":null}} " message! The form is also missing under "Documents -> Your Uploads" tab! So, it appears that my N400 form is missing! What does that all mean, considering that it's impossible to file without N400 form! Finally, under profile, My name is incorrectly sp...
