The error is in part 3 of the sentence. It should be ‘seeking’ rather than ‘seek’.

The word ‘seek’ is grammatically incorrect in this context. Seek means an attempt to find something. While seeking is the present participle of seek. Present participle is a participle that ends with ‘ing’, used in continuous tense.

Since the sentence is framed in continuous tense the word seek should also follow the same tense.
