Ben,
You don't put modifiers in the diagnosis boxes, you put them on the line next to the service codes. Look on the CMS 1500 form and you'll even see the header "modifiers" above where it goes. Sounds to me like you might benefit from bringing in someone in, maybe even just a consultant to get you set up who can show you how to code.
