I wouldn't sweat the GMAT too much. Sure, they post their average, but remember that it's just an average. Plenty of people score lower and plenty of people score higher. Part time programs in general are not as concerned with GMAT scores. They know working professionals have very little spare time to prepare like perhaps you might if you were gearing up to take two years off work to go full time. Plus, part time programs do not have to report their GMAT scores to the rankings boards, so being more flexible on the GMAT does not affect their ranking, which is based on their full time program. The quant thing is something that may give them some concern, but you can be prepared to address this in your application by highlighting ways you use quant abilities in other areas of your work. As you point out, your grades will help demonstrate ability in math as well.
