what am I missing here.

Hello all. working on a large storage system and on the part for copper gulum sorting and when i put an item in last slot of top chest, and some in first, nothing happens. im following silent wisperers direction's but feeding directly into the first chest. From what I can tell, the torch should not act any differently than on a mass storage system does so the offeet chest shouldent matter as items should still drop into first chest at the least. can you see something I dont. First image mine, 2nd silentwisperers. 1st poic is silents 2nd is mine.

thanks for any help
