What if everyone stood in the time gates, you would be between the future and the past, but not in the present so to speak, because you are sort of lost in time while teleporting. Also looking through the mythoclast scope while in the portals might reveal something. And maybe to "fix" time, if its not just killing Atheon, you would have to go backwards or forwards through the portals depending on which one your going through, so backwards into the past and forwards into the future. Could be done by walking backwards or forwards through the portals or maybe which side of the portal you enter since both sides can be entered on each gate. So if you was teleported into the past you would have to run around the gate and go forward towards Atheon into the future. Just some ideas. Edit. Was just pondering some more on how to fix time. It would seem in order to fix time, things would have to be put in order, a timeline. Not saying that you would need to complete the Atheon fight in set portal order, but rather think of Atheon as the center point of a timeline, the present. To the left you have the past and to the right you have the future. In between these three destinations you have the portals. What if you had to always pass through the portals heading towards the present(or past or future). So if Atheon is our center point, in order to make a line towards past, future, or present, you would need to move towards Atheon aftee clearing Oracle's, so go around the gates and come back to the present moving towards Atheon. To me that would put time in order, and fix it. Yes i know that you get back to the present either way, but it's an idea. Also when going in for the gatekeepers, maybe should go from the center out through the portals instead of the sync plate side, this is the side that the minitours come out when you have to defend the center conflux, and that kinda backs up my thoughts
