I think what he means by  ' negative impact rivens kinda fix this weapon', is that when u reduce impact dmg you will have more chance of proccing the other 2 damage types which are puncture and slash and a lesser chance of proccing impact.

Probability of Physical type proc = 4 * (physical damage in question)/ (4* total physical damages) + total elemental damages

Using this equation on an unmodded sobek pellet which will proc a status we will have:

chance of proccing impact: 4x262.5/4x(262.5+43.8+43.8)= 0.75 -> 75% chance

chance of proccing slash or puncture: 4x43.8/4x(262.5+43.8+43.8)= 0.125 -> 12.5%

Getting a riven with +slash and -impact can change the weapon, especially with it's high disposition ... But why would anyone turn down a +multishot +Dmg or + status chance riven to meddle with base stats >.>
