I've played with my G7X macro a lot. I found that at 24mm and f/1.8, you can be only as close as 6 inches away or else it's terribly soft. It's then a sliding scale until f/3.2, where you can be 2 inches away and things are sharp and in focus. Or, you can back up and use the zoom. It's just the way it is, trying to fit a decent zoom + bright lens in a tiny body. If you need a killer macro for your stamp or coin collection, the G7X probably isn't the best choice.
