Step-by-step
Open the upper red upright and blue group so the pink elbow has room to leave the center. Before dragging, compare the whole container with the empty cells beside it. A clear cell next to the stem does not necessarily give its corner or side arm enough space. Make one deliberate move and check which matching balls remain.
Use the short yellow tray to release the crossing for the cyan lower corner and large orange branch. Use the newly empty cells as a crossing area rather than filling them immediately with another shape. Look at the destination of the next container before moving the current one, and keep a return route to any balls still sitting near the boundary.
Finish the last red and blue uprights and guide the orange container toward its lower-right targets. Follow the remaining color groups around the board and let each collection finish before moving on. If a piece stops, inspect its entire outline and the neighboring obstacles. Reposition the blocker into a genuinely empty area rather than repeatedly dragging toward an occupied cell.

How do I start Fluffy Drop level 173: Two cyan corners below a pink upper elbow?
Open the upper red upright and blue group so the pink elbow has room to leave the center. Follow the matching color, and check both the destination and the route before dragging. A nearby ball may be easier to reach after another container has vacated the lane.

Use the short yellow tray to release the crossing for the cyan lower corner and large orange branch. Then plan the finish: Finish the last red and blue uprights and guide the orange container toward its lower-right targets. Save enough space to bring the final container back toward any isolated matching balls.
Why can the shapes in “Two cyan corners below a pink upper elbow” get stuck?
The orange branch can block the cyan corner's exit if it occupies the center too soon. If your board has a different arrangement, compare the container shapes and colors with the video before repeating the same moves; level layouts can differ between game versions.
