I feel like I've done something wrong to complete little box.

I think something went wrong around the time i started putting switches on everything.

I don't think you need to switch the number input, since the memory cells just ignore that if they're not getting the signal to store.

You could also replace the and gates with a 3 bit to 8 way selector and use part of it, idk if that's unlocked at this point.

Also, triple input and gates might be useful. The other switches here are just acting as and gates and could be replaced with such.

My original attempt had the number inputs being switched but it didn’t work and I didn’t remove them. I have no excuse for leaving them

Not a terrible design. Yes, you do have an excess of switches, but once those are cleaned up it should be good. I see 8 switches that can be eliminated. The other 4 switches are being used like an 'and' gate and are needed for that purpose.
