Local script not changing the player's textbox?

for information, ive been having a problem. a script i have to cast a definition to a textbox is not working for me. the script is below, and below that is some more information and where some things you'd ask for are located:

local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local f = Player.PlayerGui.Inventory
local UIS = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local R = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local TL = f.Deskbox.nam.Text
local TL2 = f.Deskbox.Definition.Text
local fhg = function()
		local mouse = game.Players.LocalPlayer:GetMouse()
		local Guis = Player.PlayerGui:GetGuiObjectsAtPosition(mouse.X, mouse.Y)
		if #Guis > 0 then
			for _, Gui in pairs(Guis) do
				if Gui:isA("ImageButton") and Gui.Parent.Parent == f then
					local String = string.sub(Gui.Name, 2)
				if String == "SLOT" then
					local St = Gui:FindFirstChild("Type")
					TL = St.Value
					local Definition = Gui:FindFirstChild("Definition")
					TL2 = Definition.Value
					print(TL2)
				end	
			end	
		end
	else
	end
end

the function fhg is on a constant loop, so it will repeat over and over until the code for some reason breaks (understandable, people probably find a really messy script here, please note im not that good at coding!!!) i changed a bit of routes so its more understandable, but the script is trying to get a certain type of textbox. i could just tag the textboxes, which ill probably actually do once this is resolved, if it does. once it gets the textbox (line 12) it gets "TYPE" which is basically the ui's code. but then, whenever i cast it to the textbox's text, it just doesnt seem to work. same for definition. the prints print the type and definition perfectly fine, but it just seems to not want to work. no errors or anything. i tried making exessive values to see if that'd help, but it didnt. not sure why i tried, anyways someone please help, im begging here!

I haven't spent time actually going through the scripting, however, I do notice you are missing an end for one of your if statements and you have a rogue else.

I haven't tested this at all and could be so very wrong but I'm pretty sure this is better:

local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local f = Player.PlayerGui.Inventory
local UIS = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local R = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local TL = f.Deskbox.nam.Text
local TL2 = f.Deskbox.Definition.Text
local fhg = function()
	local mouse = game.Players.LocalPlayer:GetMouse()
	local Guis = Player.PlayerGui:GetGuiObjectsAtPosition(mouse.X, mouse.Y)
	if #Guis > 0 then
		for _, Gui in pairs(Guis) do
			if Gui:isA("ImageButton") and Gui.Parent.Parent == f then
				local String = string.sub(Gui.Name, 2)
			end
			if String == "SLOT" then
				local St = Gui:FindFirstChild("Type")
				TL = St.Value
				local Definition = Gui:FindFirstChild("Definition")
				TL2 = Definition.Value
				print(TL2)
			end 
		end
	end
end)
