Uneven SAT Scores?

Hi, this is my first post here so sorry if I’m doing it wrong!

I wanted to know what colleges will think if my scores on the different parts of the SAT are uneven. I’ve taken the test twice.

In January:
Reading: 800
Math: 570
Writing: 700

In March:
Reading: 800
Math: 550
Writing: 780

All in all my superscore is 2150, which isn’t too bad, but I was hoping to break 2200. I’m worried that colleges will notice my math grade keeps going down–it’s my worst subject. Will they consider me not a good candidate because I can’t break 600 in the math section? I’m taking the test again in June and I’m worried that I’ll go down even FARTHER in the math and that it will look really bad. How much do you think this will affect me as a candidate? (My GPA is around 3.7 because it fluctuates between 3.6 and 3.8)

Please advise, I’m very nervous about this.
