Help needed - smart light switch install four switch panel

Post Body

In over my head on this one. I wanted to change our one light switch with a smart switch for my fan. I got stuck on step one (finding the neutral wire).

The challenge I have is the light switch box holds four different switches (one on/off for an outlet, one on/off for the ceiling fan, one dimmer for the light on the fan, and one dimmer for recessed lights) I know four switches for one bedroom (who thought of this design?). It’s a newer 2013 house.

I did some reading and I may have a 4-gang box ? (Sorry not an electrician just a smart home hobbyist). It said all four switches may be on the same neutral set of wires because the single breaker turns all switches off

Here are some pics https://imgur.com/a/RK7LqWX

Appreciate any tips - hesitating on a pro to pay $150 for a single $30 switch.
