puzzles have terrible context clues

I went into a pyramid, did the floor puzzle no problem, it's obvious, shows the path of buttons on the wall. But the other two puzzles are impossible.

One is just two books with squares and circles. So what am I supposed to play minesweeper or something? Is that my ONLY clue? Just two books next to bookshelves and that's it?

Then another one when the only clue is a sign that has numbers pointing at numbers. I discovered that the swords are named. My first idea was to point the swords at the numbers. I see the first row says "4 -> 1" ok so Sword 4 points at sword 1? I guess. So I pointed all of them. I push the button and I hear pistons but that's it. The fire isnt lit so I didnt do it right. I figured maybe the arrows represent swords. I figured maybe the hilts need to be pointing instead? I tried it and same results. Then I decided maybe I replace the swords. Like 4 goes in 1's place etc. I place them, push the button aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand piston noices. No fire. So I did any reasonable person with a brain would do and just gave up.

The mod is cool dont get me wrong. But half of the puzzles make zero sense. There's not enough clues to explain what the player is supposed to do. I encountered that sword puzzle before a few years back and I dont even remember how I solved it. The book one is new and it makes no sense.

What good is a mod that updates the temples if you cant even solve the puzzles? I plan on just crafting tnt and blowing a hole in the floor so I can move on cause these puzzles are trash. They're IMPOSSIBLE to solve. They only serve to make you realize how stupid you are and it only frustrates me further. Maybe next time for a future update you add more clues. Make it more obvious. I'm not saying spell it out but at least add SOMETHING so it makes sense what you're supposed to do to solve the puzzle. They make absolutely no sense and my only conclusion is "fuck it" and a block of tnt with trusty flint and steel.

Make the puzzles easier to understand. I see them but I don't see what i'm supposed to do about it. The best way to describe these puzzles is like a school giving you a question sheet but just lines for the answer but no question. How are you supposed to know the answer if you dont know what you're supposed to do? There's NOTHING there! You gave me a sheet of paper with spaces for answers but no questions and i'm expected to know the answer. So i'm left sitting there like an idiot having no idea what i'm supposed to do expect cheat and blow up the stairs with tnt just so I can move on to the second floor.

"circle = ?" I dont f*cking know how about you tell me! I dont know what that means!
"4 ->1"
"3 <- 1"
"2 -> 4"
"2 <- 3"
WHAT DOES THAT EVEN MEAN?!?!?!?!

fix these puzzles and you got a solid 10/10 mod
