In the reference model, I do not see any "funnels".  Also, you need to show the "path" when you define the funnels you want followed.  Your model does not support your question, did you share the wrong one?

I have been looking for you to post a little more information so I could take a look at the task.

Hi

Thanks for getting back so quick.

Just a bit of background on what I am trying to achieve. I am looking to
insert a small bag of vitamin tablets in to a cardboard container, then push
a lid over the tube (see animation. This is the second part of the process.
The first part is to drop the bags on to the funnel indicated by the red dot
(I haven't shown all the containers in the filling section) which is
tracking the empty containers. The funnel is traveling at 100
containers/min. because the bag is irregular in shape it will not fall in to
the container so I am looking to have vertical tampers that dip in and out
of the funnel in the horizontal section after the fill. At this point the
containers travel strait on, and the funnels recirculate. The filled
container then travels to lidding which I have managed to animate. (see
attached).

I haven't attempted the animation of the funnels yes as I was unsure where
to start. Is it also possible to continuously have the funnels circulating?

Sorry the first post was a bit vague, but hopefully this gives you a little
more insight to what I am trying to achieve.

PS. Love the software

Look forward to your solution

I personally do see a method of doing what you desire using Fusion 360.  I will leave it up to another forum user to comment and possibly present a solution.
