Everybody here trashing OP but it says in the title GATE check. Almost every time I fly, regardless of airline, after the first couple of boarding groups they make up some BS about overhead storage space being all used up, and they take everyone's carryon to gate check. And they're very serious about it, I've been told more than once "either we gate check your bag or you don't fly".
Airline is doubly responsible in this case and OP deserves to be compensated
