Spools connection in Simscape model

Hi , I would like to connect two spools to each other. I am not sure what is the good way to do it because i get the error when i connect them as per following picture. I don't know how should I set the properties for these two spools. As you can see in the picture I would like two connect these two spools in a way that one has 90 degree angle to the next one. This is part of a big model that 12 spools are connected to each other. I could use Pulley instead but i need to have some saved cables so I beilieve Spool is better option for my project. Thank you in advance for you help.

The connection highlighted in your diagram needs to connect to a cable connection (gray dotted line), not a frame (gray solid line). If you want to connect it to that frame, connect it to a Belt-Cable End block and connect that to to the Rigid Transform block.
