The lines in the instructions have nothing to do with the lines in the puzzle box. This does not indicate orientation or direction.
If the puzzle box does not close, the lid may be facing the wrong way. The lid also has a direction. If the lid is put in backwards, the box will not close.
Puzzle boxes have directions. If the puzzle box does not open, try opening it from the other side.
