Calculated field that uses an and statement between 2 fields.

I am "trying" to create a calculated field to concat fields based on multiselect fields. I can get my statement to work if there is just one criteria. but how do I/is it possible to get the and statement to work between 2 fields. I found some examples that are kind of looking like what I want, but when I try and add the && into the text the wheels fall off. Here is where I ended up around the time I was pulling my hair out. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

IF(CONTAINS("Meta (FB/IG)",{DE:GF Paid Media Type}&&”Static Image”,{DE:Duration}),CONCAT({DE:GF META Story Static Specs},"\u000A",{DE:GF Copy for TIKTOK ASSETS},"\u000A",{DE:GF Meta Copy Specs}))

The contains statement looks wrong to me for the simple fact that it looks like you're inputting 3 variables into a expression that only takes 2 variables. 
I would personally structure it in the following way. I havent tested this though. 

IF((CONTAINS("Meta (FB/IG)",{DE:GF Paid Media Type})) && (CONTAINS(”Static Image”,{DE:Duration})).......
