Yes it can

By adding a lip and not adding a lip on a modifier will change the way it works.

I will try to make it more simple for you to understand. If I use a f/1.2 lens and get my subject in focus and it moves forwards or backward just a fraction of an inch it will change what is in focus. Its the same in lighting there is a DOF to it as well. Just by moving the light an inch can change how it falls on the subject and the intensity. This is what is called the inverse square law.

Having the diffuser all the way to the front of the box will increase the amount of surface space and when you move it back inside the box it decrease the size of surface space.

Its clear you need to practice or study more on how light works and I'm not saying this to insult you in any way.
