Hello, is there a way to somehow soften 3 edges that are very close to each other?

Here is the issue I'm having

It's common to have that problem. You can try spreading the edges out to soften the area. Take the vertices to the right of your holding edges, and mesh > average vertices. Or use the slide edge tool might be more precise.

If you look carefully at where Dave suggests cutting, you shouldn't have any tris.

Thank you!
