> The traditional form of the Maxwell equations is not manifestly invariant with respect to special relativity, because it involves a particular observer’s time and space coordinates. However, we believe the underlying physical laws are relativistically invariant.

so are maxwell's laws actually relativistically invariant or not?

There is a form of them which is invariant. You just have to write them correctly. Mathematics isn't as amazing as it sounds, there is a some ambiguity in how symbols are defined. Is your gradient with respect to rectilinear coordinates, or more general? Etc.
