Help extracting timestamp from a CSV File

I'm trying to extract the "Flash Date" and use it a the time stamp when I index my csv file. I'm getting random results. Any help would be greatly appreciated. In some cases the event would grab the "start time",in others it would match up to "End Time"

Question

1) if the field name contains a space, do i need to encase it in double quotes when specifying TIMESTAMP_FIELDS ?

2) Can I use just a date with no time as seen in the values from "Flash date"?

My CSV file

Folder,Job Name,Flash Date,Job Status,Start Time,End Time
S1,J1,"July 19, 2020",Ended OK,"July 19, 2020 3:00:121 PM","July 19, 2020 3:00:23" PM
S1,J2,"July 1, 2020",Failed,"July 2, 2020 3:00:21 PM","July 9, 2020 5:00:00 PM"
S1,J3,"July 4, 2020",Failed,"",""
S1,J3,"July 4, 2020",Ended OK,"July 4, 2020 12:00:00 PM",""

[my_csv] CHARSET = UTF-8 INDEXED_EXTRACTIONS = csv DATETIME_CONFIG = NO_BINARY_CHECK = true SHOULD_LINEMERGE = false TIMESTAMP_FIELDS = Flash Date TIME_FORMAT = %B %d, %Y
