Assembling Box with Hinge

Background: I am building a box with a hinged lid for the final project for my high school freshman engineering class

 

Hi everyone- thank you for your support over the last 2 days. I have made a lot of progress on my project. 

 

I am trying to attach my working hinge assembly to the back and lid of my box, but I am running into trouble. 

 

1) I want to be able to grab the lid and fold it up and down, but I can't do that. In order to get the lid to move I have to move the hinge assembly (separate file). It then moves on the box assembly file, and I can move the lid down. Hopefully that makes sense.

2) Is there any way to make adjustments to where two surfaces constrained? I am having trouble getting them positioned exactly right.

 

Does anyone have any tips that will help me out? I'm just learning Inventor, so there is a lot that I don't know yet.

 

I've attached the two assembly files (hinge & hinge attached to box pieces) as well as all of the parts.

Never mind after a lot of hours I figured it out.
