Keep in mind that the variantion on the orientation of the box basically depends on your initial Y. To modify it, you can change the length on the each one of the 3 lines of the Y by making them shorter or longer.

Another thing you can do is to change the angles between the lines of each Y. (Keeping in mind that they should be all equal or wider than 90 degrees).

Here's a picture that might give you some ideas, you can study it, but make sure you don't use it on the box challenge exercises. When drawing a box on the challenge it should be straight from your imagination, 0 references.

This helped a lot, thank you so much.

The recommendation below is an advertisement. Most of the links here are part of Amazon's affiliate program (unless otherwise stated), which helps support this website. It's also more than that - it's a hand-picked recommendation of something I've used myself. If you're interested, here is a full list.
PureRef

PureRef

This is another one of those things that aren't sold through Amazon, so I don't get a commission on it - but it's just too good to leave out. PureRef is a fantastic piece of software that is both Windows and Mac compatible. It's used for collecting reference and compiling them into a moodboard. You can move them around freely, have them automatically arranged, zoom in/out and even scale/flip/rotate images as you please. If needed, you can also add little text notes.

When starting on a project, I'll often open it up and start dragging reference images off the internet onto the board. When I'm done, I'll save out a '.pur' file, which embeds all the images. They can get pretty big, but are way more convenient than hauling around folders full of separate images.

Did I mention you can get it for free? The developer allows you to pay whatever amount you want for it. They recommend $5, but they'll allow you to take it for nothing. Really though, with software this versatile and polished, you really should throw them a few bucks if you pick it up. It's more than worth it.
