Road junction
On four way traffic light crossroad, do you have to move forward when on green (there is no filter light for right and no box to move into). ???

Not really understanding your question here. Why would you not move forward on green? Green means go?
I mean, when you're sitting stationary behind the line on red light. The light then turns green, then you have to wait in middle until a gap in traffic (when turning right )? I think this is that type of junction. It doesn't have right arrow light

Yes, when the light turns green, you move forward, if safe to do so. Proceed to turn right when safe. Position your vehicle appropriately so that anyone coming from the opposite direction to you can turn right when it is safe for them to do so. They might be able to turn right before you can.
Often you have to wait till the lights turn red before you can make your turn, due to the volume of traffic coming from the other direction. When this happens you have a few seconds to proceed with your turn before the lights turn green for the traffic to your left and right.
This is all the sort of stuff that should be covered by your driving instructor and something you should have practised many times before your test. Unless you live somewhere like the Highlands of Scotland with no traffic light junctions near your test centre.

DK's answer is good.
Some junctions will have proper marked boxes and wee filter lights, IME in most of those cases there will be a dedicated or marked lane for turning right. In all others you just need to creep past the green light in the middle of the lanes where safe, ideally leaving space on the left for other traffic to pass you (remembering their tail might swing out a bit if they turn left), and obv enough on your right for oncoming traffic. If there isn't enough space to pull into the center (narrow street, parked cars ect), you stay on the left before you turn, and it's just tough luck on the folk behind you, in that situation it's considered polite for oncoming traffic to pause and signal you to go first to avoid you blocking traffic (In my opinion anyway)

If it has a yellow box, and the traffic is built up, look ahead to see if you can proceed without stopping on the box, or blocking the junction. When turning right, you can stop in the middle, and must proceed when you can.
Silly that this was never covered in my lessons
