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?

Repair the sheet metal with a neat patch (aluminum pop rivets). New
material should be available at box stores, maybe call the
manufacturer. Since you're two using floodlights, simply mount two
boxes to the flats on either side of the rib. looks good, symmetrical,
and sturdy if you tie the two together in the back with a metal
brace.
