My elevator isn’t working properly, and I would appreciate any tips on how I could potentially get it to work. Im not sure if it’s a coding issue or a building issue. (Maybe both?) However, the platform is a little unstable in terms that it moves a lot when going up. As well as when I try to run my code one motor is going more up than the others causing the whole project to fail.
do you have videos of it runing to give us a better idea?

For the issue with the motors spinning unevenly causing the mechanism to fail, you can use gears connecting the gears you are using as the lifting mechanism. I know my wording is a bit confusing, so here is a rough sketch:
If you proceed to connect the sides with gears make sure that the motors don’t try to oppose each-other. You can also link the connecting gears with an axle so both sides are also spinning at the same speed.

If you mean that the platform wobbles a lot when the mechanism is in use, you can stabilize it like this:
The supports would be on all corners and of somewhat equal size (the sketch is just the concept).
Hope this helps!

Oh my bad let me do that now.
