Followed your suggestions again just to document the attempt better (I did alot of different trial and errors before posting and I get easily mixed up between attempts). So tried the first one in a few diffferent ways, didnt work.
When I tried the second one I noticed a funny thing, when I pass my mouse over the red pyramid I get the gear symbols for performing an action, but when i do the same with the blue pyramid it shows the hand icon for picking it up.

Point being none of the two suggestions worked...
