How to fix error bash unexpected token bash?

Question

I need an important help with my bash code, I have been in this state like this for 1 hour and I did not get anywhere, I solved the end of code error, but now I am in that and I am not able to advance, prove changing elif by else if but still I did not find a solution help! Thanks.

Error code: line 39 (19 after edit): syntax error near unexpected token `elif'

You only need one fi keyword at the end of the if/elif/else chain, not after each block. — Barmar
And post code to ShellCheck to identify errors, then post remaining issues here. — David C. Rankin
There's also no need for ; at the end of lines, but it's merely redundant, not an error. — Barmar

fi
elif [ $vw = 3 ];

This is incorrect, If you finished if block with fi, you can't start new block with elif. The correct syntax is:

if ...
then 
elif ..
then 
elif ...
then
else
fi
