Regarding the statue head puzzle, there is unfortunately an issue with this which was also raised during testing.
There is a slight frob delay on the statue heads and this can sometimes result in a player inadvertently frobbing the statue head twice but it only moves once and therefore the statue head will appear to be in the position you need it to be to open the gate but the engine recognises the frobs only and reads it as being in the wrong position.
Therefore if you have an issue with the gate not opening but you are certain you’ve figured out the correct combination, then just experiment with turning the relevant statue heads the opposite way until the gate opens.
Spoiler below for the correct head positions if you need to be certain:
1 - Third Keeper Mayar and First Keeper Riquin should be facing each other (they don’t need to be frobbed at all)
2 - Interpeter Verderosa should be facing away from First Keeper Modrian, so only the Verderosa statue head should be frobbed to face away
3 - Translator Columb and Interpreter Sadrilde should be facing away from each other, so both statue heads should be frobbed to face away from each other.

The secrets are well hidden in this FM: I have found only one and only because I knew that it is there somewhere (gambling "room").

What a great first mission that was, thank you Snake.
As others have said some of the loot was very well hidden, I ended up missing about 600g but I did find 8/9 secrets which I'm rather pleased about.
The Keepers compound is very well designed, not massively confusing but well laid out and totally believable as a usable building. I didn't have any problems working out the solution with the statue head puzzle once I had the hint sheet, but I did feel the main objectives items could have been hidden better rather than being on display as they were, but a minor gripe for an excellent first mission.

I did the puzzle by randomly turning the heads, it took me like half a minute :p
