Unhappy Name slightly wrong on booking

Hi there. Sorry if I am not posting this in the correct place - I have just joined and don't really know my way around! I'm looking for some advice, if possible. My name is incorrect on a booking for an upcoming holiday (this weekend!) and we have been advised that this cannot be changed by the travel agency (Travel Republic), nor the airlines (BA/Qatar), not even for a fee. The issue is that I have 2 middle names which have been mashed up together with my surname - for example, instead of One Two Three Four, the booking shows One Twothreefour. Can anybody advise on the likelihood of this being accepted for boarding? I am hoping it will be fine as all my names are present; they are just grouped together incorrectly. But I’m feeling really anxious about not being allowed to board. We have been told we either need to risk it on the day and hope for the best or else buy a new ticket, which is costing around £1500 😰

I know it may well just come down to who is on the gate on the day, so I understand there are no guarantees. Thank you for any advice anyone might be able to offer!
