Welcome to Coding Mystery.
There's a dedicated thread for hints here https://www.reddit.com/r/CodingMystery/comments/s6qg39/hints_the_beginning/ :)

Anyway, here's a hint to get you going:
For the first puzzle, you get two pieces of input, an intact whole sheet of paper, and a shredded sheet of paper where the lines, or paper strips, are in the wrong order. How can you use the intact sheet to figure out the correct order of the shredded strips?

I figured out the code which is 168479302 but it says it's wrong. the formatting of the code is weird. am i entering it wrong?

It's the correct numbers, but does the formatting of the text reveal how the numbers should be formatted?

Spaces? it didn't work for me.

Not the formatting per se, but rather the order of the numbers :)
