You need to put holes in the top and bottom too like you did the sides. Put 4 inches of perlite in there and get it wet and kind of fluff it up a bit so it's not compact. Make sure it's elevated 6 inches up off the table. You want air currents coming from underneath and able to exit out the top and sides.
Here check it out.. this spells stuff out pretty good.
The Basic Principles of a Shotgun Fruiting Chamber (SGFC).
What do the pins look like on cake 2?
And don't forget to wash your hands before handling cakes. And *never* touch your cellphone and touch a cake. The average cellphone has more contaminates than a dozen toilets or something ridiculous. May as well dunk them in the toilet overnight haha.

where should i poke holes in the top? in the cardboard part or wax paper part, i had to make that makeshift lid because i had no lid, and someone who told me to do this also said it worked for them without holes in top, but idk...
and yes there are holes in bottom, and the platform its sitting on is like a metal rack so it gives airflow from the floor to the chamber
and 2nd cake pins look sexy af ill get a pic   its not like a huge pinset but i did notice the pins on this cake look healthy like the ones on the first cake DID, until they aborted
and hell yea i keep my hands clean as fuck i got a bottle of alcohol i drench my hands in it everytime i handle the cakes

You can just wash your hands.. they're already in open air.
I'd use anything but cardboard. It gets wet and it's dirty and harbors nasties.

Washing hands removes ALL foreign material(only if you do it right). Alcohol doesn't kill spores.

so normal hand soap and water is better then rubbing alcohol??
also a lil update on the cakes since I put into the SGFC, the 2nd cake that started pinning with beautiful pins is doing well. It looks like the biggest pin on the 2nd cake I took a pic of, has almost doubled in size over night.
to get better FAE I keep the closet door cracked an inch open with a big air purifier a couple feet away
<<<this is the air purifier I got, pretty nice huh

Yeah, but make sure you wash thoroughly. Definitely look up how to do it right, or else you waste your time. 90% of people don't know how to wash they hands and it's basically useless.
That cake/setup looks a lot better, from what I can see.
Good luck.

Washing your hands and arms like a doctor with non antibacterial soap is far more effective than hand sanitizer or alcohol.

Alcohol tries to kill, and it kills like 99.9-99.99 well if you have 1,000,000 bacteria on your hands .01% is still 100 bacteria. And 100 is the same as 1,000,000 since all it takes is 1
Alcohol doesn't remove them from your hands, just tries to kill
Soap doesn't necessarily kill(it does though) but it actually just removes them from your hands. Thus being more effective

Yep. 99.9% of bacteria, thus permitting resistant and stronger bacteria to multiply. On top of that, it kills 0% of spores. lol. Also, what he said.. don't use antibacterial. not only is it carcinogenic, it's literally 0% more effective than nonantibacterial soap. and it contributes to evil resistant bacteria, which no one wants.

shit i gotchu, and look at the cake now, i think the cakes werent doing well before because of literally no FAE, and too much moisture, so i mist like half as much, and i keep the closet door cracked with the air purifier next to it.
well only like half a day later and the cake trippled its pins and the biggest pin is actually growing RIGHT, it looks way healthier of a pin then the slimy aborted ones i showed you before
i think the grow can only get better from this point as thats all im seeing is improvement since moving it into the SGFC and cracking the door and misting less
