All 3 items are placed on tables, roughly across the room from where they are picked up

For the organizing supplies step it seems like it often bugs out, reloading UI seems to fix it.
Also, the places where you put the items are tricky to see in the room even when it does work...
The first item goes on the table in the northern corner of the room (65,41)
The second item goes on the table in the southern corner of the room (65,44)
The third item goes on the table in the southeastern corner of the room (66,43)For the final stage there is a vial that you need to pick up from the same table as the third organization step (66,43), then you get an extra action button and you just throw the [item=219443] at the worm things. You can only hit each worm thing once for credit
if ur like me and get lost. to clear the bugs on the floor there is a pot on the middle table u pick up and then u will get a extra action button

Description
The Puppetmaster is our best lead for finding the Magistrate. But is it just me, or did those puppets seem... horrifically lifelike? If this artist is behind the Magistrate's disappearance, he certainly isn't just off to see a puppet show. We should investigate the Puppetmaster's workshop. Question him, or at least ransack his things. Just a bit. Until we find something useful. You'll have to keep playing your rather undignified role in this charade. But it will pay off for us.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Social Clues
<The nerubian keeps her voice low, a careful eye on the guards behind you.> The Weaver sent you, yes? I arrived to petition the Magistrate's approval for Ascension--to infiltrate high society, of course. But he's missing. A rather large inconvenience. I need to ask around.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Marionette Mercy
It's perfect! The Puppetmaster is so interested in adding you to his collection, he literally invited us to go rescue the Magistrate. I don't want to imply I've been using you as bait this entire time, but... Let's just say certain calculated risks have paid off.
