The Disc tray hasn’t been opening properly for a few months now and I have had to put duct tape on it to open and close it but before that, it would not open if there wasn’t a disc inside which is very strange and I had to pry it open multiple times but it still reads discs fine. I have also tried using the Xbox vertically but then even with a disc the tray won’t open
Is this a good question?

I would try replacing the rubber band or at least try cleaning it. If that fails, I would try to see if you can find a new top cover for the drive, because occasionally the magnet that holds the disc in prevents it from opening properly.

Thanks for the answer! But where could I find a new top cover for the drive?
You could search on eBay for it.

So to answer the common question, Yes this is a common thing on X-Box 360's. It maybe because of the belt in the drives opening mechanism. It either A, have been bumped and moved out of place or B it could be perished and need replacing. If you need any help on how to get to the DVD drive heres a link of a guide:
Xbox 360 Optical Drive Replacement
Yes the Guide only gets to the drive itself so you will need to disassemble the drive itself to get to the belt or the problem part. I unfortunately can't find a guide on that but if I do I will link it
Good Luck hope its successful and you can go back to using your console as usual.
cheers ;)
