Apologizing early for this post as I am a greenhorn here. But, I can’t seem to find the right combination to move this group of objects. I want to move the hole through the sidewall and the rectangle. I want to turn the whole group 90 degrees and put it on/threw the side to the left. Can someone provide me knowledge on how to do this?

Use the Split Body tool to make this part a separate body, then use the Align tool to place it on the side wall.

The hole can theoretically be moved using the Move/Rotate tool, or you can simply redraw it and extrude it in the new position.

It’s hard to say anything more specific based only on a screenshot.
