Help with ""Contains"" formula

Hi,

I am trying to create a formula that indicates the following:

IF [field 1- text multiple choice] contains "GM" AND [field 2 - text] contains "GM", display text "GM Opp/GM Agency"
IF [field 1- text multiple choice] contains "AA" AND [field 2 - text] contains "GM", display text "AA Opp/GM Agency"
IF [field 1- text multiple choice] contains "AA" AND [field 2 - text] contains "AA", display text "AA Opp/AA Agency"

I think that the AND portion if the formula is messing me up, but can't figure out how to fix. Below is the current formula I'm working with:

If(
(Contains([GM/AA Market - Opp],"GM" AND Contains([Agency/Client Market - Consolidated], "GM"), "GM Opp/Agency",
(Contains([GM/AA Market - Opp], "AA") AND Contains([Agency/Client Market - Consolidated],"GM"), "GM Opp/AA Agency",
(Contains([GM/AA Market - Opp], "AA"), AND Contains([Agency/Client Market - Consolidated],"AA"), "AA Opp/Agency", "NA"))

Thank you!

    The was an extra comma before the underlining started.


    If(
    Contains([GM/AA Market - Opp],"GM") AND Contains([Agency/Client Market - Consolidated], "GM"), "GM Opp/Agency",
    Contains([GM/AA Market - Opp], "AA") AND Contains([Agency/Client Market - Consolidated],"GM"), "GM Opp/AA Agency",

    Contains([GM/AA Market - Opp], "AA")   AND Contains([Agency/Client Market - Consolidated],"AA"), "AA Opp/Agency", "NA")
