Switch gem bird puzzle on switch

[csh1vr]

i play stardew on switch and am very close to perfection. i only need a few more golden walnuts. i havent done the gem bird puzzle yet but everytime i try to place the gems down nothing happens. they stay in my inventory and dont appear on the pedestal. its really frustrating and i dont know whats wrong ive restarted my game a few times and it hasnt helped
