Details of the issue I'm using a highly customized modpack but what I am doing is purely big reactors related. It's unfortunately not working, if anyone could help

It looks like you haven't got any Fluid Ports or Power Taps. While I don't think either of these are required in theory, it might be worth adding them in. Other than that, I haven't spotted anything awry... I can't imagine its a chunk boundary issue, but maybe?
 
iirc, you get a message telling you why it doesn't form when you right-click the controller block. Have you already done that?

Ah never knew that. No I didn't but when I did it said it can only be built 16 blocks horizontally, I changed the config but for my server I'll build vertically, thank you

Let me know if that works. I think the "Horizontal" thing might actually be a misnomer. I believe it really means the turbine can only be 16 blocks "long", whether that's horizontal or vertical.

I think you might be right. I was going to state my experience as a counterpoint, but when I added up the numbers, I'm pretty sure it was exactly 16 blocks high:

While playing Agrarian Skies in 1.6.4, I decided to build my turbines vertically above and below my reactor (thought it looked a bit like a warp core when I was done, I liked it), and I went for 80 blade turbines which had 8 blades around the rotor; if memory serves, that ended up as being 10 height for the rotors, plus 4 height for the coils, plus 2 for the outside walls, so... huh. 16.
