Drupal 7 and/or CKEditor adding paragraphs to code breaking styling

I’ve recently started a new job where I’m managing a Drupal 7 website for the first time. We will be moving away from this platform soon, but I have to maintain this site for the time being.

I’m trying to add a new form to one of our pages, but paragraph tags are being added after saving the code in the CKEditor which is breaking my styling.

Here is the relevant code added to CKEditor with rich text disabled:

<select id="scopeSelecter" name="scopeSelecter" onchange="primoScopeSwitch(this)"> <option value="Everything">Everything</option><option value="LibraryCatalog">Library Catalog</option> <option value="CourseReserves">Course Reserves</option> <option value="Theses">Theses</option></select> <input id="primoQueryTemp" size="55" type="text" value="">  <input alt=" Search " id="go" onclick="searchPrimo()" title="Click to Search" type="button" value="Search"> 

When I inspect the output of the saved code, I see that it has place the input elements within a paragraph element:

<select id="scopeSelecter" name="scopeSelecter" onchange="primoScopeSwitch(this)"> <option value="Everything">Everything</option><option value="LibraryCatalog">Library Catalog</option> <option value="CourseReserves">Course Reserves</option> <option value="Theses">Theses</option></select> <p><input id="primoQueryTemp" size="55" type="text" value="" placeholder="Discover books, articles, videos, etc.">  <input alt=" Search " id="go" onclick="searchPrimo()" title="Click to Search" type="button" value="Search">&nbsp;</p> 

Thanks for any advice.
