HB simulation of a mixer using two different oscilator sources

Hello , I am trying to simulate a 6.66GHz  3.3GHz mixer where oscillators act as sources.

I have tested oscillator 6.66G ,oscillator 3.3G and the mixer with VSIN sources separately in a different schematics as shown bellow and the works fine.

After that i converted them into symbols and  tried to put the 3.3G oscillator and the 6.66G oscillator  and the mixer(connected to VSIN 6.66GHz 3.3GGHz)  on the same schematics , as shown bellow.

A transient simulation shown  good simultaneous results that all three components are working , as shown in the plot near the end,but i tried to run  two tone HB  1/303.03p 6.6Ghz simulation with the "oscillator option" turned off(because there are two different oscillators so we need 4 nets to be defined in HB). 

The HB shows me a good harmonics on the mixer but the two oscillators set apart are not functioning in contradiction with TRANSIENT as you can see in the end.

so how could we make HB recognize the functionality  of all 3 components   together ?(those oscillators need to replace the VSIN components in the mixer)

i have added the full simulation  log in the end.

Thanks
