Just put
@CHARACTER1 stands screen left AND CHARACTER1 faces right
&CHARACTER2 stands screen left AND CHARACTER2 faces right
&CHARACTER3 stands screen right AND CHARACTER3 faces left
&CHARACTER4 stands screen right AND CHARACTER4 faces left
What you write is not correct…first of all if you want all happen in one time the @ is last and not first.
Second the way you have written it you will have on both sides 2 characters and the last 2 will be hidden behind them because you spot them on the same spot.
Hi If you want the character behind the table you will need to use overlay of that table and spot direct them.
If you dont know how to spot direct and can live without having them behind the table so the easiest way how to spot 4 characters is:

&cut to zone 2
&CHAR1 stands screen left AND CHAR1 faces right
&CHAR2 stands screen right AND CHAR2 faces left
&CHAR3 stands upscreen left AND CHAR3 faces right
@CHAR4 stands upscreen right AND CHAR4 faces left
I need two on the left to walk into the room after one of the ones on the right tells them to come in and then one of the ones on the right tells the one on the left to walk out
this is the scene

here it is:
I also repared some of your coding
first af all when character is speaking and you need him to make talking animation you write it like this:
CHIEF WILSON (talk_arms_crossed_loop)
I need your help with something.
also you should learn difference between & and @ and when to use it.

thank you I suck at coding thats why I need to get a co-writer
we all ware not good when we started. 
Don’t worry you will learn it.
But if you are really looking for cowriter try it here:

yeah ive tried that but the ones that replied to me never got back to me lol
LOL well most of the people probably want to write their own stories I guess. But dont give up it looks hard but once you get deeper in the coding it will start to make more sence.
atm im trying to describe my female character from Coles view loool
this is what I have so far
NARR (COLE)
I look at the girl infront of me
she has blue eyes almost as blue as the sky on a sunny day
it looks right from the coding point of view.
