I think merging obeys the same rules as subassemblies - you need the root part of the merged craft to have a free node to be able to connect it.

So to merge, add a fuel tank to the bottom of the shuttle craft, and make it the root. Then load up the tank, and merge the shuttle in to connect it to that strut. Then make part of the shuttle the root, remove the tank, remove the added part you used to connect, and re-attach.

This. You can only attach a subassambly (or a merge) by open attachment nodes on the subassambly..

As a fix, load your shuttle as normal, and attach a small octagonal strut to the belly (where you want to hook the decoupler to). Now change the root to that strut, and save. When you load it as merge now, you'll have an open attachment node on the belly that you can attach to the decoupler

Another merge problem. Port Jr. to Port Jr.

Probably exactly the same thing with root parts. Read the answers given to you and use those to solve the problem
