Can you edit the block used? Select the block and right click to choose block editor. If you must keep the originals then just save the block as a new name before leaving the editor. Then insert the new block where you need it.

Start the BLOCK command, pick the block name in the list, add a check mark for Allow Exploding, pick OK, pick Redefine Block. You are done.

Or, so you don't need to know the specific Block name for each one to pick it from a list, double-click on an insertion of a Block to call up the Block editor, accept the offered Block name as the one to edit, and in the Properties palette, change the "Allow exploding" slot [toward the bottom] to say Yes instead of No, and Close the Block Editor.
