Timeline for The vinyl plank click flooring I installed in two rooms develops gaps at the ends between the two rooms. Can I glue the ends together in this area?

BTW: rather than remove and replace the boards to re-close the gaps, "kick" the joints closed. Using a rubber soled sneaker kick the board joint closed with a series of firm foot kick to the boards surface. | |

What do you think about seam sealer/vinyl "grout" to just fill in the gaps rather than reclicking them every time this happens? | |
