Can the quantitative immuglobulins igm test detect covid 19 infection?

IGA - 398 High/IGG - 958 Normal/IGM - 45 Low CBC Normal - 3 months post COVID-19 IGG Positive Antibodies. Are the High IGA and Low IGM blood values concerning in the context of post COVID-19 infection? Thanks?
The covid 19 serology test says if the IGM is positive then you can use that as second opinion if you suspicious about your PCR results is this true?
I had a positive Covid antibody test in June during my physical. I had never had any symptoms of Covid & my family tested negative. Today I had antibody repeated-IGM & IGG negative. Do you think my initial positive was a false positive?
If you get an antibodies test and it's positive is there any way to know the antibodies comes from the vaccine or if it was that I had at some point Covid 19 not knowing it? results only say igg/ positive and igm/ negative?
I recently took a COVID-19 IgM and IgG antibody test and it was negative. I am fully vaccinated. Did the vaccine not produce antibodies?
