Vinyl plank flooring repair question

What say y'all? My vinyl plank flooring is damaged, and I'm thinking I can fix it myself. Am I correct, or foolish?

The problem is there's a low spot at the entrance to my kitchen. The planking springboards over it, and has developed a crack. (The house was built in 1925, so nothing is really level anymore.)

My plan to fix it is to unsnap the flooring in the kitchen until I reach the low spot. Fill it, and then reinstall the floor.

Other pertinent points:
*Flooring installer is unknown.
House has a raised foundation. (By raised, I mean by about two feet.)
*My neighbor says the floor is about 2 years old. I bought the house a year ago.
*Flooring is Pro-Core Charleston Oak from Home Depot. I believe its still available.
* Low spot feels to be about two feet across and less than a 1/8" gap.
* I plan to cut any new planks, if needed, with a utility knife. I don't own a saw.
*Low spot is just before peninsula seen in photo.
