How should I prioritize these 4 credit issues?

Planning on getting a house if and when the market ever picks up again. In the meantime I'm trying to get my credit together (as well as save some extra cash) so I will be fully prepared when things open up.
1. Ratio of balance to limit on bank revolving other revolving accounts too high
2. Too few accounts currently paid as agreed
3. Time since most recent account opening is too short
4. Lack of recent installment loan information
Or are there just to many variables to consider to even align them?

Is your credit score north of 350?

Stop missing payments for starters.

Yep. You can owe a large percentage of your credit limits if you always make timely payments. Missing payments puts your credit score into a tail spin.
My wife's credit score went from over 800 where it was for years down to 620 something because her former partner canceled a check that was to have paid off her business credit card. The business was closed due to covid lockdowns so no mail came. Four months of missed payments will put credit into nose dive and there isn't a lot that can be done about it.

Are you currently behind?
First thing is you need to get current on everything. Nothing else matters now until that is cleaned up.
Once that is cleaned up... try to pay down some debt if you can to get your credit score up.

It depends upon what his goal is.
The credit bureaus rank "most effecting" first.
If the goal is to improve the credit score, that first listed one will have the biggest jump/net benefit.
There may be some underwriting that does "manual credit checks" and approval could depend upon the number of "30 day lates" and "60 day lates" the past 2 years. There is nothing you can do about the past lates. But dont do it again, obviously.
