You did not post a video for us to see where you have the proximity switches set up and you homing the machine so we can "see" what is happening.

In an earlier post I asked you to do this. I never heard back:

"Let me ask you this, move the axis away from the proximity switch, get a piece of metal. Start the home process, as soon as that axis starts moving toward the proximity switch, wave the piece of metal in front of the switch. Does the axis stop and home? If so, you need to adjust the location of the proximity switch so it trips before hitting the hard stop.

If not, then there is something wrong with your Switch/relay wiring."

It seems to be working fine. I would have probably not made the proximity sensor come in to face to face contact.with the plunger. I would have put a strip of metal to pass in front of the proximity sensor. Maybe more accurate homing that way.

You are making the target metal approach the face of the sensor instead of from the side.
This fellow has the target approaching from the side:

This is more desirable.
