MKS DLC32 MAX with homemade cnc

Hi, i'm building myself a 1010 cnc without any plans. After alot of wiring, soldering and building i've finally started programming my controller (MKS DLC32 MAX) but since i have dual steopers on the Y-axis i want auto squaring and run both motor on different outputs.

I've tried to setup the A-axis as Y2 and Y-axis as Y1 but i can't get it to work. After 1 week of googling, talked with ChatGPT, asked around on forums, Facebook and scrolled done GitHub i'm giving up.

My question is that if anyone have made this work, or do i need a new controller?

What kind of controller would you recommend? Budget is under $200-$250. And i really want it plug and play since i'm tired of reading through bad documentation to understand how i can connect "a limit switch". I really want a controller where i plug in "Y1 and Y2" they just work after some step adjustments.

P.s: The frame is not 100% done so if you see anything i can improve please let me know. The z-axis will eventually run with 4 blocks on the HGR20-rails with a 10 mm thick aluminium front plate. At first i will just run a Makita palm router but i hope i've built it to carry a 2kw+ water cooled spindle at a later time.

Ps2: I'm completely new to cnc and have never tried it before but i run a laser engraving business so i'm familiar with gantry machines.
