Issues with Translations and OnTriggerExit

Hi, Thanks for the time. So I have a cube which the player moves around. I have it set to move EXACTLY 1 space forward

 yield return new WaitForSecondsRealtime(.05f);
         transform.Translate(0f, 0f, .2f );
         yield return new WaitForSecondsRealtime(.05f);
         transform.Translate(0f, 0f, .2f );
         yield return new WaitForSecondsRealtime(.05f);
         transform.Translate(0f, 0f, .2f );
         yield return new WaitForSecondsRealtime(.05f);
         transform.Translate(0f, 0f, .2f );
         yield return new WaitForSecondsRealtime(.05f);
         transform.Translate(0f, 0f, .2f );
         switch (data.compass)
         {

I have it set to this so it gradually moves forward. A la a Dungeon crawler game that is tile based. In order to stop the player from ramming themselves through walls I have a bool that controls the forward IEnemorator.

if (Input.GetAxisRaw("Forward") == 1) {

         if (data.on == true)
         {
             data.on = false;
             StartCoroutine(Forward());
            

         }
     }

Then (because on is from a scriptable object) I have the collision script turn it off when the box collider of the player meets a triggerable box collider on the wall.

 void OnTriggerEnter (Collider other)
     {
       ...
 
         if (other.gameObject.tag == "wall")
         {
             Debug.Log("STOP");
             data.on = false;
            
         }
             
     }

Now here comes the Issue. I have the script set so that OnTriggerExit I turn ON back to true, in game this works intermittently, and more importantly, it causes my player to go flying through walls and through the map. I tried using Time.Delta time, however that makes it impossible to make the player move exactly 1 unity, and it still doesn't stop the player from glitching out! What Am I doing wrong, and what can I do to fix it?

  private void OnTriggerExit(Collider other)
     {
         data.on = true;
     }

NOTES My player is a cube (First person placeholder) the box collider is actually a long extrusion that is set to just nudge the box colliders of the walls.

The code I have only works 25% of the time anyway (the other 25 percent it acts like I am in front of a wall)
