Similar to drop test but nothing moves - Hammer impact 1

Using SimScale Solid Mechanics / FEA
1

I have created a similar analysis to the iPhone drop test and it (finally) completes it, but no impact happens, no stresses are developed, nothing moves. There’s probably a single setting I’m missing, but I can’t figure it out. It is called “Hammer impact 1”:

Any help or advice would be appreciated.

Best,
