You set the "Break To" field of the elevator to "Same Load Station". So it will currently only load extra items if they come from the same object as the previous item. If you set it back to the default "New TaskSequences Only" it will load both pallets if they available.

Placing them on the elevator is just a matter of adjusting their location in the On Entry trigger.

You can rotate the items similar to how their location is changed.

Two items cannot move side by side on a conveyor. There always has to be a small offset. As long as the elevator has an unload time > 0, it will unload the items on after another.

Your best bet might be to build custom logic in Process Flow that moves on pallet into the other so you only have to handle one item from then on.
