Listing employment gap in chronological order

I listed employment gap at the bottom of my resume, but now I'm worried it's negatively impacting my job search

What I wish I knew
"I wish I had been more specific about my activities during the gap"
If I could tell you one thing
"Consider including a functional or hybrid resume format to downplay the gap"
