Trouble getting boosters to snap

[SmokeFan]

I  having issues getting the boosters to line up on the brackets. They seem to be connected to the shop but when I try another stage, the boosters don’t release.

Hopefully you're referring to this (#2 in screenshot).

You'd think the boosters would align and clip on correctly, but no, they just swallow the bracket and hide them. This is something that vexes me in both KSP1 and KSP2.

1) Perfectly aligned boosters (the way they should look).

2) Engines overlap the mounts even though they are correctly aligned.

3) So when attaching something like a booster to the mounts, try attaching it further down until it pops out and connects to the surface of the mount as it should.

4) Then use the adjustment tool to move it vertically on the mount to where you want. Make sure it's aligned and attached at this point, otherwise moving them with the tool won't help.
