    Are you sure that the screenshot you provide above pertains to the APA7 guidelines? To me, they look exactly what APA6 used to specify. The formatting guidelines for sectioning headers (especially for those at the \subsubsection level) differ considerably between APA6 and APA7. – Mico Jun 24 '20 at 04:58
  • Off-topic: Since amssymb loads amsfonts automatically, and since mathtools loads amsmath automatically, the statement \usepackage{amsfonts,amssymb,amsmath,amsthm,mathtools} may be simplified to \usepackage{amssymb,amsthm,mathtools}. – Mico Jun 24 '20 at 04:58
  • in APA7 guidelines they mentioned the same text, no change at all – Chamanga Jun 24 '20 at 05:05

    Regarding: "in APA7 guidelines they mentioned the same text, no change at all": Please provide a source to that statement. – leandriis Jun 24 '20 at 05:33

    From https://apastyle.apa.org/style-grammar-guidelines/paper-format/headings one can get the following information: level 3 heading: Flush Left, Bold Italic, Title Case Heading 
         Text begins as a new paragraph. Which is definitely different than the image you show.

    @Chamanga: According to my research, the 7th edition of "A pocket style manual" was released in 2014, while the APA7 style guide was released 2019. So the book you cite can not refer to the APA7 style. I assume you are writing your thesis. Does your institution have any guidlines to which style they want you to use? If they specify "apa" style, it might be worth asking which version of the APA style they want you to use. – leandriis Jun 24 '20 at 07:00
