Hmm, there are a lot of things going on here. First of all, do you have vim-plug actually installed? Does it work in terminal Vim? You probably want to put the plug initializations in your vimrc instead of gvimrc. gvimrc should only be for GUI specific options.
Also, gvimrc is loaded automatically by MacVim (or any gVim). You shouldn't need to load it in manually. I'm not sure why you are getting a syntax error though. My guess is there are some whitespace / newline issues, but it's hard to tell unless you attach a file (you probably want to file an issue at https://github.com/macvim-dev/macvim/issues instead).
