How do I nest these 2 files

Drip Dry

First time sending a tile job to my new HP 360. I always used versaworks and Versacam. Seemed simple.

I'm printing a wrap for 2 sides of a truck. In production manager, I can tile the image to 5 panels. The last one is just 15" wide.
I have 2 sides to do, so that will leave me with 2 - 15" separate panels ( 1 from each side)
Each one will be from a different job.
How to I nest these 2 different 15" jobs onto the material so there is less waste.
With the versacam, I could set the print head where I want it to start printing. With the HP, I can't do that, so I'm forced to do it from Flexi.

Can someone point me in the right direction

Thanks

double click the 15" panel to tell it not to print. Then when they are finished, open the file in the rip and have only that one print in each one. Then you will be able to nest them and only they will print.

Still Confused....

I have 2 - 15" panels from 2 different sides of the truck.
Do I print the 2 different sides first and then somehow nest the 2 files later for the 15" panels
Or, do I send both sides of the truck in one file, and the nest those 2 15" panels later

If I try to nest 2 separate test files now, ( these were previously printed and are sitting in production mgr)the nest option tab is dimmed out

Can someone explain "nesting for dummies" to me
