More details to this question:
im a minor who just got released from detention into the care of my grandmother with power of attorney. and we are trying to get guardianship but my moms not really doing her part on getting the guardianship papers which she was ordered in my last court hearing that she file the guardianship papers for my grandmother to get guardianship which is causing conflict. so my question is, from what i know or heard since im over 14 i can be able to get the guardianship papers myself for my grandma to get guardianship. is that possible?

From your description it appears that a court already ordered that you be placed under guardianship with your grandmother acting as guardian.  Ask the attorney involved to file a Motion for an Order to Show Cause.  The Court can order your mother to appear in court to explain to the judge why she has not signed and delivered the necessary papers.  She may prefer to sign them and ask that the Motion be withdrawn.
