If your alert is running every 30mins, then :

0/30 4-7,9-14,17-22 * * *

Do you mean this:

Morning 9 AM : Cycle will be previous day 4 PM to Today 9 AM
0 9 * * * and search for -17h to now()

Afternoon 1 Pm : Cycle will be 9 AM to 12.59 PM
0 13 * * * and search for -4h to now()

Evening 4 PM : Cycle will be 1 PM to 3.59 PM
0 16 * * *  and search for -3h to now()

you should be able to use a cron schedule for that

0 4-7,9-14,17-22 * * *

from crontab.guru: “At minute 0 past every hour from 4 through 7, every hour from 9 through 14, and every hour from 17 through 22.”

You're going to need four separate alerts for that because each one has a different trigger time and a different earliest/latest setting.
