Hi! First time posting and new member. I have 2 huge outdoor pens. One has a adult redfoot, the other has 2 yelliwfoots and one marginated juveniles. I have a tortoise box with year and half sulcata, and another tortoise box housing a Giant South African Leopard under a year. Any suggestions

Hello and Welcome. Do not mix species and the gray water dish is a drowning hazard, switch it out for a clay saucer. The sulcatas and leopards should be housed in closed chamber but not together. High humidity and temps no lower then 80.
I didn't see the yellow foot or the Marginated but if they are as small as the leopards and sully, they too would benefit from a closed chamber.

The larger ones are fine then. The smaller ones need the closed chamber. You will need to make it. You can use what ever you have and put tops on them, add warm water to the substrate and keep temps no lower then 80 day and night with a basking spot of 95-100. You want humidity at least 80%

Thanks so much! Is there anyway to turn the zoomed tortoise box I have into a closed chamber?

You can cover the top with something like a sheet of plexi cut to size, but there are other issues. Those boxes are too small for anything but a hatchling, and the wood will quickly rot and leak if things are kept appropriately damp.
