Howdy, all. Very novice user here. I'm having trouble mating parts that were inserted into another assembly.

The objects I'm trying to mate were originally .stl files that were imported as surface bodies. All were up-scaled by about 2x.

SW will let me mate these parts to each other with the "lock" standard mate but none of the others (parallel, concentric, etc.)

Ideally, I'd like to mate these parts such that they look and behave like the completed part they comprise. It's a servo-operated gripper found here:

Here's a snip of the work space. The grayed parts are what's being mated. Appreicate any help you can give!
