Explanation

Here, 'deeply' and 'not only' rectifies the error of their misplacement. Adverb 'deeply' and 'not only' should be placed before the word for which they are used. In the original sentence adverb 'deeply' is used for verb 'affect' and adverb 'not only' is used for 'own future trajectories'.
