Onshape Curriculum Unit 2 Lesson 4 & 5

I'm testing out the Skateboard lesson for use in my classroom next year and I'm having difficulty with the mates, in the assembly. I'm following the directions as written and shown in the videos but the parts are not mating correctly, then move when I do the next steps. What is going on?

Is this the issue you are having?
If not, could you share a video of what is happening or share a link to the document where you are working? The specific steps that you are on would also be helpful!
Yes and No. Yes this is the point I'm having problems, but the mate on the deck doesn't show and holding the shift key doesn't help. This subsequently hinders the replicates and nut placements. Here is the shareable link.

Ugh, I got it to work. I deleted them all, nuts and bolts, exited to the dashboard, then started all over again. I also exited to the dashboard after each insertion. Gremlins!
If it happens again, could you document what is happening with a video or screenshot? We will take a look at the curriculum and see if the instructions need to be updated/made clearer.
