Digital Sidecars and Drive code

Hey all, we have modular electrical boards this year. We're trying to run a drive off of two different digital sidecars (that is, plug one pwm into the sidecar is slot 4, plug the other into the sidecar in slot 6). However, we get an error code -44036 or some number to that effect. We can rewire and run both motors off of one digital sidecar, but it leads to messy wiring, and we don't see any reason why it should matter. Does anyone know what we would need to do to make the Robot's motors work on separate sidecars?

Clarification: we know how to edit the code in Open2MotorDrive so that the motor references are in different slots. When we do that, we get an error. How do we fix it?
