When I use the set laser position button, the go to origin button, the move to position button, or other buttons like them (the home button jog buttons work though) the machine will move quickly backwards and right until it hits and end stop.
Do jogging controls work in the way expected? Up goes up, down goes down, left goes left, and right goes right?
If so, it’s likely that you’re working in a negative coordinate system.
Check here for more information and strategies for addressing:
Common GRBL/GCode Setups - LightBurn Software Documentation
They were working, but after I removed the machine and re-added it they stopped working and now do the exact same thing as the other buttons
Make sure that Origin setting in Edit->Device Settings is correct. Your system is almost certainly meant to be origin at bottom-left.
That should allow your Move controls to work correctly. After that, you need to address the negative coordinates.
I have checked the origin and addressed the negitve coordinates but the behavior unfortunately has not changed
What did you find and what changes did you make?
Once those changes were made, did you confirm that the changes were made correctly?
Please provide as much detail as possible. Remember, we can only see/understand the information you convey.
to fix the negative coordinates with the command G10 L2 P1 X-300 Y-180 and set the origin the the front left corner, which is where it homes to. I also tried the other 3 corners just to be sure that that wasn’t the issue. It had the same issue in all 4 places. I also did the other steps outlined in the “negative coordinates machines” section of that link you sent me. The G0 X0 Y0 and G0 X10 Y10 commands made it do the same behavior as the jog buttons do.
Can you confirm that you have homing switches at front left and separate limit switches at top-right?
Can you run these commands in Console and return output?

Yup I have limit switches on both sides of all 3 axis.

What are the dimensions of your laser? These values imply that it should be 500x400.
It is 300X180mm I will fix that and see if that helps
That fixed it. Thank you so much for your help!!
