Hello, so I just recently put age restriction lander for new users. Can that negatively impact SEO score? I was thinking that crawlers will only see this page and not click "Yes" to access full content. What do you think?
 
If you block crawlers from accessing your actual content that will affect your rankings.

Check cache:your-page-url in Google to learn if Google actually parses your content. Example: cache:https://www.yourwebsite.com/

Is the cache fresh? Do you see your actual page or the age restriction landing? If the latter, then you might have a problem, in my personal opinion.

It does show my page properly. Everything is OK. Thank you.
 
As long as your age gate doesn't prevent the search engine's crawlers from accessing the content on your site, there's no reason why age verification would have an adverse impact on SEO.
