Here is an approach I answered at time ago.

But @tanner.p pointed out the restriction of this approach. The items are processed in the order of entry.

If you need a more simultaneously method, I can only suggest to tweak mine. You add an invisible conveyor with a very high convey speed to compose a row and then you let the items travel with a slower speed on visible coveyors.

And the limit of item movement on a conveyor

You have to update your FlexSim Version to 21. It is actual the current newest released version. Version 19 does not support this feature. If you have done so, then you look into reference manual for mass flow conveyor entry.
