Hi, welcome to the forum.

Yes, as far as I know, you have to place your marks as children of your target items first before throwing other entries to them if you want the thrown items to be children of your target. The only other option is to accept a little bit of temporary mess as you throw items to the marks that are siblings of your targets. You can then clean up individual sections later.

Promoting/demoting and marking positions in BrainStorm is very fast once you memorize the shortcuts, so I personally would just promote the target item, add the mark, and then move back up the hierarchy. Also consider using namesakes as a way to “teleport” around your model.
