Timelapse with GPIO

Hi there I am looking for some help with the GPIO board and a MK3.5.  I would like to send the hot end to the back right of my printer .

But I cannot find where to put the gcode to do this.  in all the videos I have seen it tells me to put the gcode in the "After layer" part of the filliment slicer settings but I cannot find this only start and end and custom I am using a ready made lead with a 2.5 mm end and a C1 end for the camera which is a Canon 200d 

Can someone out there tell me where I am going wrong please

Here is the code I want to use.

;Time-lapse - start

M262 P0 B0 ; Set Pin 0 as output

M262 P1 B0 ; Set Pin 1 as output

G1 X24 Y70 F10000 ; Park at position

G4 P500 ; Wait 500ms

M264 P1 B1 ; Activate focus

M264 P0 B1 ; Activate shutter

G4 P500 ; Wait

500msM264 P0 B0 ; Deactivate shutter

rM264 P1 B0 ; Deactivate focus

G4 P500 ; Wait 500ms

;Time-lapse - end

RE:
  • PrusaSlicer 2.9.5 - must be in Expert Mode (I'm on Windows 11, this is also true on MacOS 15)
  • Printer tab
  • Custom G-Code section
  • Scroll down - the sections are labelled:
    • Start G-code
    • Start G-Code options
    • End G-code
    • Before layer change G-code
    • After layer change G-code
    • ...

I admit that normally I would use the scroll wheel but in Firefox at least it tries to scroll within the sections - I usually just grab the scrollbar itself and pull down.
