You're missing a few ends in your code. Also, add a wait after or between the loop, so you don't crash. This is the corrected version:

local ToolName = "FlashLight"

while true do
	wait(2)-- change the amount of secs you want it to wait
	game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
		Player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(Character)
			if Player.Backpack:FindFirstChild(ToolName) then
				workspace.BARRIER.Position = Vector3.new(20, 0.5, 45.32)
			else
				workspace.BARRIER.Position = Vector3.new(9.63, 0.5, 45.32
		end
	end)
    end)
end

(Edit: - The other wait between the if statement is redundant, consider removing it!)
