Can't complete "Picking up the Pieces"

I'm currently at the first part of the mission where it requires I place down the Prototype Locator Beacon.

After killing all the enemies, I have tried 3 locations
  • Boston Public Library (entered via subway causing the robots and turrets to be friendly)
  • DB Technical High School (map says cleared)
  • S. Boston Military Checkpoint (map says cleared)
No activation notice appears, nor does the game allow me to drop the item due to being a quest item. Am I missing something?

PS. I can supply save file however I am running 42 mods so it may not be ideal
 
im having the same issue, there is a marker on the ground but I cant interact with it, I have the prototype on me to drop but I cant drop it.
Also when i go back to jake and mala I cant talk to them.
 
You gotta drop the ASAM Scanner I think is what it's called, one that's done it'll drop the beacon. Also, the Boston Public library may be bugged and be a feasible location
the library one is broken for me too. I did the highschool (it's in the basement) the one by finch farm and a (former) gunner outpost and they worked without fuss.
 
The library spot doesn't work for me either; I can drop the scanner and it does it's animation, but I only get a notification telling me to put it closer to the marker (granted I may be a couple of centimeters off but still). I have yet to try the other locations though.

Edit: Electrical Hobbyist Club, DB Technical, and SB Checkpoint works for me; the library remains stubbornly uncooperative.

Can confirm, the library spot is broken. Got the ASAM sensor to clip into the quest marker and it's still telling me that I'm not close enough to the objective. I know that the sensors in general are functional, as the location at Revere Satellite Array worked just fine.
 
Adding another instance of this location apparently being bugged - the sensor just sticks in mid air for me and doesn't do anything
Same Problem here. Yesterday i've tried the library (broken) and completed Satelite Station and DB technical. Today i want to finish the Checkpoint south Boston, but the ASAM scanner is flying in the air, same at the Nothern Star (The Ship in the South-East). Sensor just sticks midair and doesn't do anything.
I recognized that the marker from the Library moved to DB Technical, after i've finished it scanning DB technical and returned to Jake...

I've just tried this for the first time at Boston Library (using the f version and updated Workshop Framework). The sensor drops and animates perfectly, but it then complains that I need to try closer to the objective (or words to that effect), I'm right on top of the objective, tried it from various angles, different locations within the library and even left and came back again. It very usefully highlights all the lootable items, but does not complete the mission.

Is an known bug. Try other locations than the library, they should all work
