Ive scripted correct but things keep moving when I script more stuff

So I am trying to script the character sitting on her bed reading/thinking about a book
and then suddenly when she sets it down this magical aura starts appearing out of the book then pulls her into the book… by covering the character with the aura overlay and then switching scenes, The book overlay worked fine originally (besides the fact it wouldnt scale to the scale I put it at)- until I placed the magic overlay and then the book overlay started moving around and disappearing on me-

@add Spell Book Open Grey Black to SOPHIA
&cut to zone 2
&SOPHIA spot 1.244 204 114 in zone 2 AND SOPHIA is read_sit_book_open_neutral_loop AND SOPHIA faces left

SOPHIA (talk_read_book_open_neutral_loop)
A tale of a prosperous kingdom breached by savage pirates,
Leaving a princess to flee in hopes an heir will one day lay claim to her homeland.

@pause for a beat
@remove Spell Book Open Grey Black from SOPHIA
SOPHIA (talk_doubtful)
As much as I love to read, I’ve read the pages within this story the most.

SOPHIA
(I wonder what the princess was thinking at the time those pirates stole everything away from her?)
(Betrayal towards her guards; who didn’t warn her family of the pirates arrival in time?)

    SOPHIA (think_rubchin)
(Guilt within herself; for living whilst they hadn't?)

Im not getting any errors besides the ones that are the rotate, scale, shift, opacity blah blah blah and a “your background/overlays have not yet been approved”

So I think the script is right but if anyone could help or knows somebody who can solve it and doesnt mind tagging them/ and they dont mind being tagged, any and all help will be appreciated.

^ Perhaps replace the “in zone 2” with a number instead since it’s already in zone via the shift and scaling commands prior/after?

^Maybe try changing it to:
&overlay MAGIC to layer 6

^Try removing “in zone 2” within those commands and same for these ones:

Try specifying the zone in this command:

This one says “zone 1” unlike the others that are “zone 2.”

I tried what you recommended and a lot of it is now running smoother as the overlays no longer disappear or move randomly

the only issue is the flippin book still doesn’t wanna scale correctly…
