Query on ILR application - 5 year route(on Tier 2 general visa)

Iam completing 5 years on Tier 2 General visa on March 6th 2019.However , we I have had a break in between as explained below
1.I got my 1st Tier 2 visa on 06 march 2014 and this ended on 5 March 2017(My company lost the sponsorship at this time)
2.I applied for an FLR 5 days before the above visa ended, however, I have not received the appointment letter and I did not do bio-metrics.
3.I applied for a Tier 1 visa then,but did not get a biometric letter, while this was on progress,I got a sponsor who provided me Tier 2 visa and I continued my job.
This visa is valid from 16th September 2017.

So I had this 6 month gap between both visa's, however I was still in the tier 2 status as I did not do bio-metrics or none of my visa application was rejected. I am not sure whether this will be considered as a continuous 5 year work.

Also during this 6 month period, I did not get the salary as per the COS.

I would like to know if I have any chance to get through the ILR application through the 5 year route.
Can anyone help me with this query please.

Is your current salary meeting the ILR salary criteria?

Also, during this 5 year period did any of your applications returned as invalid?

Thank you Ramsharika for your reply.
Please find my answers below
Is your current salary meeting the ILR salary criteria? Yes,I am meeting the salary criteria currently

Also, during this 5 year period did any of your applications returned as invalid? None of the applications were rejected/invalid, however , I do have a gap of 6 months in between both the Tier 2 visa's and worried about the visa status at that time.

Could any one please provide a reply for this. I am confused whether I can go ahead with the application or not.
It would be great if you can help with your suggestions
