I have a napoleon 1400 wood stove and when I bought it the air damper was damaged and hanging off the stove, I repaired it and it seems to be working correctly but I dont know for sure if I installed it and fixed it correctly, I cant find any schematics or pictures or info on how it is actually supposed to be when opened or closed, so if anyone can advise me It'd be greatly appreciated!

Well for starters your hearth is nowhere near big enough you need 16" in front of the stove. Also how much room do you have behind the stove and between the pipe and wall?
Is this double or single wall pipe?
If single you need 12 inchs from wall. If double you need 6 inches. As mentioned before, you need 16 inches in front of the stove for floor protection.
these should fix your front protection..

Not looking for installation advice, looking for air intake advice if I wanted installation advice I would have asked lmao.
Single wall and is 20 inches from rear wall
So please no more comments about installation they're not helpful.

I have to point out any unsafe condition i see. That is part of my professional code of ethics.
They are helpfull because what you have in that picture is unsafe due to lack of floor protection in front of the stove. You may not want to hear it but that does not mean it isnt helpful
Excuse me for trying to make sure you dont burn your house down. You wont get much help with that attitude.
Dude I appreciate the advice and I'm not the one getting butthurt I simply asked to stop commenting unless your helping me with my current air intake situation. So again I'll politely ask you to please stop commenting unless you're trying to help me find admissible information about the air intake, thanks in advance. Just trying to mitigate the number of responses I got.
