No words for the door situation

Recently I decided to move my Versicolour from small pissbox (?) I to 19x12x8 (cm). I started with one piece of cork and water dish glued to it.
She was webbing a bunch on the door and I would destroy it by opening the enclosure.
So I added another piece of cork bark loose next to the other. Nothing changed.
Then I added roots coming from top and bottom so there is no way to web the door. It worked. On that side. She webbed on the other now. I did a lot of mistakes. I know that much but I wanted to future proof the enclosure and so I left a lot of space thinking hey she will just make web on the back. I even added her old webbing. And I didn't have cork bark tall enough nor did I know how to place it properly for her comfort. Anyone has an idea? I don't want to move her more since she became bolty with all the recent changes.

I'm
Yeah, however you want to set it up to encourage webbing.
not really sure how to put those fake plants in since they are rather still and big for the enclosure. And the moss might mould since it's the reindeer one. :c
She is webbing that's not the problem but she is webbing on the front where the opening is.

Yes, I get that. You really cant "control" where your spider webs up. If you hot glue a few parts of those plant parts to the cork bark creating a cover, it may encourage webbing near that area.
I just let her be she went back to where she was at first and she is webbing over the water dish now and squeezes through the roots. She is so stubborn. I'm just worried about her boltiness. I'm not scared she will bite but that she will go under something or my clothes and get squeezed. But getting squeezed seems to be hamsters way to go most of the times...
