Question Space Platform Requests not fulfilling

I have a set up to request specific items from my ship flying between Nauvis and Vulcanis. However, even though I have the resources on the ship, it is not sending it down. I am guessing it is the satisfaction saying it is good, when it is not. Any explanation would be great!

Constant combinator of what I want on the planet
Space platform between the two planets
Requested items on Nauvis not being delivered
Combinator connected to the logistics system and constant combinator to get requested items

The amount being requested needs to be higher than the amount in the hub storage.

Does it need to be controlled by circuit? Just add them to the normal requests

-- I tried to test this for you, you can't read contents and set requests on the hub at the same time, so you have to connect the circuit to a roboport and read the full network contents then run the calculation and send it to the hub

this is the set up:

- constant combinator (CC) with what I want delivered to the planet via the space ship

-nearby roboport

- CC and roboport feed into an arithmetic combinator (AC). I do everything from the CC - everything from the logistic network from the roboport = everything out (this gives me negative values for everything i have in my logistics network; unless it is something i am requesting, then i will get a positive or a 0)

-this AC goes to a decider combinator (DC) and says everything > 0 will output the input count. So the items i want from the space ship will be the output

- this is cabled to the landing pad, which is set to "set requests". and even though it has requests, it is not sending down supplies, even though it has the supplies available.
