Everything works ok until ... Or is my coding wrong? ... I appreciate for some help/advice.

*cough* subs , more subs, not too many nesting loops, code that compiles, minimal code focusing on the problem , code that doesn't prompt, no weirdo looping constructs, seperate math from mechanics (more subs) ....

same advice How to store the output from foreach loop into variable/array without printing?

If you make named subroutines you can debug the smallest piece(sub) possible, not the whole thing at once in a blender
