Puzzle 8 “Enigma Machine” not progressing to the 3rd lock

I know how to do this and am using the macro and weak aura but it is stuck on the second lock. I kill and count the rats and place the statues for the 1st lock, 3 three locked mechanisms, and it shows the magnifying glass when clicking submit. Then start the 2nd lock, where it says 2 locked mechanisms, kill and count the rats, place the statue and it gives the magnifying glass when done and said it was unlocked. When clicking to start the 3rd lock which you would think would say 1 locked mechanism it still says there are two locked mechanism to do. Kill and count the rats place the statues and go turn it in and if they are placed where they should be for lock 3, I get zapped, and it resets. But if you place them for where they should be for lock 2 again, I get a magnifying glass and the unlocked message. Then start again and it shows 2 locked mechanisms still and it is a rinse and repeat, you place them in the location for what should be the 2nd lock, and you get the magnifying glass and unlock message, put them where it should be for the 3rd lock, and it is a zap and reset. I have done this where I have gotten 11 magnifying and unlock messages in a row, and it always shows 2 locks left when I start what should be the 3rd lock. It will never process to the last lock. Have reset the instance, come back the next day still the same I can solve them all day long but it will never progress to the 1 lock mechanism when starting what should be the 3rd.

Are you pressing “Begin” multiple times? No guide says to do this but somehow it seems to be the most common error here. You only ever press Begin once; after that, every statue placement check is only “Submit”.

Thank you so much, that is what my issue was. I must have spent 6 hours trying that.
