why does my power light connection glow orange? It is never green.

If it NEVER goes green, this indicates to me your battery isn't charging properly.

I'd check the battery health via the article here: Check the condition of your Mac laptop’s battery - Apple Support

Sometimes a simple reset of your MacBook's SMC will cure the issue. Here's how to do that: https://www.macworld.com/article/669231/how-to-reset-the-smc-on-an-m1-or-intel-mac.html
