drag drop onto folder alias

2014 MBP 15" Big Sur

I have some folder aliases on the desktop, and finder will not let me drag/drop files onto/into

those folders. Is there a work around so that I do not have to open the folder to move the file into it?

Thanks peeps

(it is not the 13" MBP 2011 that Apple thinks it is)

If the alias is not working as expect — delete the alias and create a new one from the source folder.
