Compressed explosive turret not firing properly with motor 2's, can someone explain what exactly is happening?

This is my first post here, I'm (kind of?) new to plane crazy, at least somewhat to these new compression mechanics and very much so to whatever this "massless" tech is I've been hearing about. I also don't have a lot of experience with reddit, or posting things, especially with images.

So, I built a cannon that just launches a bunch of explosive blocks compressed together with angle locks and compressors with one key with magnets, and then fires disconnectors with a separate key to unweld every explosive block from each other to scatter and arm blocks to explode on impact. It works great, and I mounted it on a turret with (normal) motors to control it, and everything was perfectly fine (the explosion from firing is shown in one image), but when I swapped them out for motor 2's, this strange thing happened (I'm like... 10% sure but idk it MIGHT be something to do with massless or whatever because I've heard that motor 2's have some kind of shady business going on with that or something...???)

When I would the press the fire keybind to activate magnets, instead of launching the entire compressed explosive thing out, it would just cause the turret to violently shake for a split second and the explosive compressed shell would instantly just disappear into thin air. (when i placed the pilot seat on the explosive shell, apparently it had an extremely high altitude and speed..?? as shown in image)

and then, after i pressed the fire keybind, when the launcher was seemingly empty, when i pressed the keybind to disconnect and arm and then again to manually detonate, the launcher would just explode in some sort of cluster, as if i detonated the shell in its poisition before it had been launched at all (as shown in one of the images)

motor 2 settings are shown in one of them, i don't really know what is happening? could somebody please help, you guys are a lot smarter than i am. tysm!

(oh hell nah how did i yap for like 5 paragraphs bro)
