I planned to use a motion detector with the two flood lights centered
above my garage door. I started cutting thinking I would put a plastic
box behind the metal siding inside the garage. However, being centered
it is over a raised rib where two panels meet and it looks like I made
a mess. It was hard to cut and I just stopped. Any ideas on how to
properly mount this light and make it look ok and not leak?

If it were me, I would take a step back, go get a short piece of the ribbed
metal siding. Some of the lumberyards around here carry shorter pieces, so
you would'nt be throwing away too much money. Anyway, patch the hole by
covering the works up, then surface mount a waterproof exterior box on the
flat between the ribs and mount your electric fixture on that. I don't know
of anyone that makes a "light box" or some such for corrugated metal panels.
