Why is the ''ElseIf'' section of this script not working, but everything else is?

-- The script is intended to, when it is a certain time of day, change the lighting to the on/off settings. It works great at the top, and turns the lights on - but the elseif part won't work at all, and the lights continue staying on. I have no errors, and this is a normal script located in Workspace. Thank you.

Because a string of length 4 (“clockTime:sub(1, 4)”) will never be equal to a string of length 3 (6.4)
