I have a problem with valorant.. (i am new)

I have recently downloaded Valorant (2025) I use a mid- end laptop (I usually use a mac being a student, which was not my choice, so not sure if it's even mid end), that's got intel(R) HD Graphics 620, and 16gb ram, l've got storage space around 400gbs to be precise, and when I first launched and played valorant, it was pretty smooth, no time delay, no lag or buffers but it got stuck in the middle towards the second part of the tutorial, I could move and shoot, the door to the second half wouldn't open tho, I waited 30 mins b4 giving up, but when I relaunched it, THE LAG WAS BAD, LIKE I would move and the screen would get instantly stuck and 5 secs later I'm against the wall towards the direction i was facing, but when I move the mouse it's fine, no time lag, nun, until i proceed to move it, then it again buffers hard, so I followed few tips for lower end PCs to increase fps and changed the settings which did NOT help at all so. Here I am.. Trying to ask anyone who knows the solution

unfortunately i cant drop a video.. but i managed to find out while recording its with the screen rather than the game cuz the recording stopped for the screen and when the screen resumed the recording was at another time value.. so that changed everything.. do u still have any suggestions on how i could fix that.. i managed to complete the tutorial.. but when i tried playing a match it completely froze on me.. no errors, and i could switch tabs..
