Why does running my TCL script different than running it in GUI with *createmark "by box"?

I have a surface that I created from a .stl file. I turned it into a surface with several sections. I use *createmark surfaces 2 "by box" with the dimensions I want. I triple checked all the settings.
Everytime I run it with my .tcl script, it selects the wrong surfaces. But when I copy and paste the exact code into the tcl console, it selects the correct surfaces. Why is there this discrepancy with specifically the "by box" option of *createmarks? This is making my coding frustrating because I want to select regions of surfaces with tcl coding.
