Clearing Options for Law

Hey there,
I’m currently in year 13 and recently finished all my A-levels and, typical of the season, I’m panicking a bit and want to explore my options in case I have to go into clearing.
For context: my firm choice is Bristol and the grades needed to get in are AAB. My insurance is Exeter and the grades needed to get in there are ABB. I know these are maybe more close than ideal but multiple teachers assured me I would meet at least Exeter’s offer. If it helps my chances at getting into other unis for clearing, my GCSE’s are 556666667 (the 5’s being in physics and chemistry and the 7 in drama) I also sat the LNAT and got 27. My A-levels are in Sociology, Psychology and English language.
I fully intend on going to Exeter if I get in. I know some people are a bit fussy about their insurances but, like Bristol, it’s a great uni so I really don’t mind. Honestly though, I’m not sure I’ll even meet that. I know Exeter has taken people at BBB (sometimes below) but I don’t see them doing that for me because I didn’t firm them. A-levels were rough and I just don’t know where I stand. Last mocks I got BBB, I was affected because one of my closest friends went into hospital half way through for something very serious, but it’s just thrown me off because I got AAA in year 12 mocks and I really thought I would get those results again. It’s left me feeling like I can’t predict where I am at all. Most of my class found the psychology papers easy, so grade boundaries will be high for that. One of the sections on one sociology paper went horribly. While the other 2 were okay, I’m not sure if it’s enough to make up for it. I’m also worried about the grade boundaries here because everyone seemed to love the section I messed up on. I got an A* in my English Language coursework but I’m second guessing everything I wrote in the papers (my essay structure was sub par in a few questions and I definitely applied some theorists incorrectly). Overall, it’s hard to tell where I am but I don’t think I’ll meet. Airing on the side of caution as ever, I’m trying to find a few decent unis I can have as back up options in case I have to go through clearing. I really don’t want to do a gap year so that’s 1000% the way I’m going and can’t be persuaded to take a gap year. If anyone can recommend some unis that would take around the BCC-BBB grades for law that would be great. It’s important to me they have a somewhat good reputation in the law community (I know that’s a bit hard at those grades but basically a uni law firms don’t laugh at will suffice because the industry can be a bit pretentious). Also any that would take my LNAT grade into account to help my chances, because I worked really hard for that score, would be great. Further comments/ stories about how lenient Bristol or Exeter can be with grades would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance and sorry about the fairly long ramble.

What about Nottingham?
Or Kent, reading ect

You don't know that you have missed the Bristol offer.
Its natural at the end of exams to fear the worst and talk yourself into a doom-spiral, but you have probably done far better than you assume. Try to stop the endless 'what if' overthinking - it won't give you any answers, and it'll drive you nuts.
