Problems adding electrical connectors in SW2019 Routing

I've been having trouble adding connectors to preexisting wiring harness. The two main ways I've found to add connectors is either edit the harness and then drag in from design library, but then I get issues with mates like SW saying the component is fixed when it has no mates and isn't fixed (there is the option to fix when I right click). Then when I try to use the insert connectors and fittings it makes an external reference and the C point doesn't show up or work. All I want to do is add a connector to my preexisting harness and be able to mate it to the main assembly so it moves with changes to the electrical panel, etc... Any help would be greatly appreciated
