Their knowledge and the lessons they learned during their
time at McKinsey helped fill the many gaps in my own knowledge.
Should there be "the many gaps"?
I always thought you don't put it with plurals. Please, explain the rule if I am wrong.

I don't see any problem with the sentence. Using "the many gaps" instead of just "the gap" tells the reader that you had more than one gap, which is probably more accurate, anyway.
