In the first 2 movies, is the puzzle box meant to be moving more than it actually does?

new to this whole thing. Just watched the first and second film. Pretty cool shit, and i find it oddly charming seeing the cheap effect, especially the painting of the maze they walk on, and the big block coming out of the mattress with parts next to it cut out. awesome movies.

But, one thing I'm confused on is the box. At times, it looks like the characters are trying to slide and move pieces around, and you hear clicks and stuff, but the puzzle isn't moving. Is it supposed to be moving, and perhaps the movie makers weren't able to make one that complex, or is it more like a haptic feedback situation? like the trackpads on the steam deck, when you slide your finger around there's little haptic clicks, and when you press down, you really feel a click. You feel it move down and click the sensor. Thing is, there is no click. The trackpad cannot be pushed down. Kind of tricks your brain.

I kind of went off track there, but you get what i mean. Sorry if this is a dumb question, I've just never seen these movies, and i don't quite understand the box quite yet. Also, seeing as it was likely a budget movie, due to all of the janky effects, i just couldn't be sure. Thanks to anyone who helps me out. can't wait to see the rest of the movies.
