How much does the writing score matter?

Honestly all I wanted from this ACT was a 33. I got a 32, unfortunately.

English 30, Math 33, Reading 35, Science 28 (31.5 rounds up thank God!)

I got an 11 on the writing. Obviously I’m satisfied with it… I’m not even sure how I got this score, as I didn’t prepare for this at all, I just wrote down what I genuinely thought of the question.

Anyways, I was wondering if my 11 would in any way somehow compensate a bit for my poor composite score in the other 4 sections. Do colleges even care? Please say yes, I want this score to matter because a 32 really sucks for me. A 33 is minimum to be even average in the top schools

Please tell me it matters!
