NRA or RA status for F-1 FICA Exemption

Hi, I can not tell if I'm a NRA or RA. 

My records:

1. Attended summer school as F-1 student
2019.8 arrival
2019.9 departure

2. Master's degree as F-1 student
2021.9 arrival

2023.12 departure

2024.1 arrival

In 2024, I started my full-time work and my employer withheld my FICA tax and said I'm RA for 2024 tax years. I'm confused about the 5 calendar year exemption for F-1 visa holders.

From my records, I should have 2019, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024 as the first 5 calendar years because I'm not physically in the states in 2020. So 2024 tax year, I should still file tax as NRA. Can you help me check what's my current NRA/RA status based on my records? Thank you!!!
