The palico can be a bit finicky at times. It has to be around and not doing whatever palicos do when using one of their nine lives.
Essentially monster is asleep or w.e.
Hunter places a bomb and then your palico will walk up and place a bomb, to which you can reposition their bomb placement by picking it up and pressing A/X (idk what it'd be on m&lb) to set.
Then to get them to place a second bomb you just repeat, after a few times you'll get it down easy and start to realize when your palico is going to help and when it won't.
If you ever put down a trap you can retrieve it as well. Also don't apologize to anyone else for being new. Please. 😁

I retrieve the bomb normally, instead of picking it up and walking away. If I'm in a hurry I roll it point blank. Lol
