How to fix spot directing?

Hey, guys! I’m writing a story and I’m trying to get everyone to be in their places at the same time. However, they get placed one after the other, after the scene has already begun. Does anyone have any idea how to fix this?

The coding I’ve done so far is:
INT. RESTAURANT with RESTAURANT TABLE
@overlay 4621723888189440_RESTAURANT TABLE shifts to -143 2 in zone 1
@overlay 4621723888189440_RESTAURANT TABLE scales to 1.306 1.306
@TORI spot 1.028 264 92 in zone 1 AND TORI faces left
@SARAH spot 1.019 47 102 in zone 1 AND SARAH faces right
@ANA spot 1.028 297 30 in zone 1 AND ANA faces left
@EMMA spot 1.118 21 9 in zone 1 AND EMMA faces right
@TORI is idle_sit_neutral_loop
@SARAH is idle_sit_neutral_loop
@ANA is idle_sit_neutral_loop
@EMMA is idle_sit_neutral_loop

I recommend to always use layers. Examples:

INT. RESTAURANT with RESTAURANT TABLE to 1.306 -143 2 in zone 1 at layer 2

&TORI spot 1.028 264 92 in zone 1 at layer 1 AND TORI faces left AND TORI is idle_sit_neutral_loop
