Return not working in IF statement in Javascript with DIVI

Basically i'm trying to make an animation start when in view of the user so far i had a success but now that i'm trying to make things simplier my if is not catching the return of my function, return console.log(); works fine but when i try to return a value the if just ignores it. returning always false as a result.

NOTE: I'm a junior dev using DIVI as a framework

Global JS!

<script>
  //Getting element and window parameters
  var $window = $(window);
  function check_if_in_view(el) { //Da finire
    var $element = $(el);
    var window_height = $window.height();
    var window_top_position = $window.scrollTop();
    var window_bottom_position = (window_top_position + window_height);
    $(el).each(function() {
      var element_height = $(this).outerHeight();
      var element_top_position = $(this).offset().top;
      var element_bottom_position = (element_top_position + element_height);
      console.log($(this).attr('id'));
      //check to see if this current container is within viewport
      if ((element_bottom_position >= window_top_position) &&
          (element_top_position <= window_bottom_position)) {
        console.log('true');
        return true;
      } else {
        console.log('false');
        return false;
      }
    });
  };
</script>

Page-specific JS!

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.7.1/jquery.min.js"></script>

<script>
  $('.fadeInLeft').css({'right' : '700px', 'opacity' : '0'});
  $('.fadeInRight').css({'left' : '700px', 'opacity' : '0'});

  function animateFadeLeft(el) {
    $(el).each(function() {
      if(check_if_in_view($(this))) {
        console.log('sono dentro')
        $(this).animate({right: '0px', opacity : '1'}, 1200);
      }
    });
  }

  $(window).on('DOMContentLoaded load resize scroll', function(){
    animateFadeLeft('.fadeInLeft');
    animateFadeLeft('.fadeInRight'); //To add
  });
</script>

I'm really sorry about the formatting of it but DIVI really sucks when formatting things since you have like a 2 inch code bar where to write it so it always messes up

(using divi because of the business where i'm learning for school)

I tried a lot actually but right now my mind is kinda blank but should be something really simple that i did not notice or something much more theoryc that i don't know still Using $().each since i have different ID's but if do not use Each my console returns error not being able to read element top position. Also i would really love any advice about making it simplier or just better performance wise thanks!

The problem it would seem is that you're returning from an inner function you defined in the each call. Define a variable before your each call, and then set it to true or false in the function called by each. After the each call return that variable.
