https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XRr1kaXKBsU try to follow along with this. Also, forces have force particles, there appears to be no such thing for gravity though I think scientists are still working on this problem to this day. Mass seems to be derived from the higgs field but I am not knowledgeable enough to answer how that relates to gravity per se.

Are you sure about that? My understanding is that gravitational waves are predicted by general relativity, not inconsistent with it.

In any case, “all models are wrong, but some are useful”. Gravity as curvature is a pretty damn useful model.
