Results
The box had some flaws as getting the parts to stay in the box was a struggle. The motor would shift a lot of times, so zip ties were used to fix this. The limit switch kept falling so a hole was drilled into the box and used a nail and zip tie to anchor it. The side of the motor was not strong enough so I had to switch the motor side when doing this the motor was moving in the opposite direction. I had to strip the wires on the motor and reverse them so that the motor would now turn. After this the box was assembled again and it worked with a little bit of issue on the hinge fullly closing.
