Use a combiner. There are different fixed resources for different tasks. It isn’t intended to tweak every fixed resource to fulfill every kind of task. You can exchange the 3D shape, that the fixed resources looks identically.

If you really depend on a processor, you process four items that you send to a sink and you send the fifth item to the normal material flow structure.

You know if you see the basic FlexSim YouTube or Vimeo videos about the combiner, that the combiner needs at least 2 input port connections to work as intended. Then you connect the queue twice with the combiner. The first item enters through input port one acting as a pallet, even if it just a simple box or similar. Items entering the combiner through the input port two are combined by the combiner component list onto the first item by joining type.
