@NelNelD – I have updated the code to a 1.1 version, the lower smart object layer is now removed.
EDIT: Let me know how it goes. I have now updated to a 1.2 version so that all layers in the smart object are removed, except the top layer.
I have updated the code to version 1.3 to remove any photoshop:DocumentAncestors metadata build-up in the smart objects and or main PSD file which may bloat the file size after multiple uses.
Here is the revised script for your specific template and assets:

The ppi value of the files that place smaller was 300ppi (I resized them with IrfanView).
Thanks to you, I realized the Box Front images must be 960x1357 and 72ppi, and the Box Spines images must be 231x1357 and 73ppi too, to work with your script.
I can easily do that with IrfanView or by placing all images in the smart object layer, resize, and batch export them with photoshop.
Thanks again to make me save a lot of time. Let me know how can i invite you a beer 🙂

It's not just my script, if you were doing this manually you'd have the same issue, it's how smart object replacement works.
And also i realized doing some tests, the example images fits perfect on the result box, because i exported them from the same template, but when image size don't match the one in the smart object, it doesn't addapt it automatically:

This is how smart objects work. You need to ensure that all assets are as follows:
Spine replacement image = 231 x 1357px @ 72ppi
Box Front replacement image = 960 x 1357 @ 72ppi
