Let $E_1$ and $E_2$ be two ellipses whose centers are at the origin. The major axes of $E_1$ and $E_2$ lie along the $x$-axis and the $y$-axis, respectively. Let $S$ be the circle $x^2+(y-1)^2=2$. The straight line $x+y=3$ touches the curves $S, E_1$ ad $E_2$ at $P, Q$ and $R$, respectively. Suppose that $P Q=P R=\frac{2 \sqrt{2}}{3}$. If $e_1$ and $e_2$ are the eccentricities of $E_1$ and $E_2$, respectively, then the correct expression$(s)$ is(are)

$(A)$ $e_1^2+e_2^2=\frac{43}{40}$

$(B)$ $e_1 e_2=\frac{\sqrt{7}}{2 \sqrt{10}}$

$(C)$ $\left|e_1^2-e_2^2\right|=\frac{5}{8}$

$(D)$ $e_1 e_2=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}$
