Mollie sexing help

So I originally had what I thought was 1 male mollie and two females in my tank (orange being male, white and bow tailed Dalmatian being girls) I went to my fish guy and asked for another girl, he gave me the new white Dalmatian molly. Now I was convinced the new fish was a boy and asked him to double check, he said it was a girl so I took her home and acclimated her then put her in the tank. All hell broke loose. The two dalmations and orange were fighting, the bow tailed Dalmatians dorsal fin went right up which made me think I have three boys to one girl (white). Can anybody confirm the sex for me please...

the silver one is the only girl and they are all fighting over her

The first pic is hard to tell but the silver one is female. The dalmation in pic#1 shows a clamped anal fin, which makes is hard to tell wether it's a male or female.

That’s what I thought, but as I’m new to fishkeeping I figured I had to be wrong. I’ve had so many different answers now I don’t know what is best to do, another fish store said that I have two boys and two girls. (Orange and black/white Dalmatian being boys) but I still think the white/black dalmation is a boy too. They seemed to have stopped fighting for now but I want to get the ratios right so they’re happy and stress free

This is my only camera shy fish lol it’s so hard to get a pic, I’m also convinced this ones a boy too but again since I’m new to fishkeeping I don’t trust my own opinion and two fish stores have told me it’s a girl

If you could take a picture from the side without a clamped anal fin, it would make things more clear...

It seems to be clamped most of the time. I know there is stress in my tank atm with the boy/girl ratio being off and I will be taking them to a store today but I want to make sure I only have one boy so I have to decide whether to take this one too

That's a boy

Thank you

Yes, definitely a male... From the angle in the former pictures, it was hard to tell wether the anal fin was clamped or that it had developed into a gonopodium.
