I need to fit a septuplet and 2 triplets into a 4/4 bar for a bongo part I am writing but the 2nd triplet isn’t in the correct measure. I don’t know how to manually fix it and I have the free version. I was able to input it into another software and it worked but can’t seem to figure it out for this one.

Welcome to the forum, @uniformh502 !
When you say “septuplet”, I’m not sure if you mean the first measure or the second.
You can get the first one by selecting the eighth note tool, typing ; to enter tuplet mode, typing 7:4 for seven eighths in the space of 4, entering the seven notes, and typing Shift+; to exit tuplet mode.
You can get the second one by selecting the sixteenth note tool, typing ; and then 7:8 for seven sixteenths in the space of 8, entering the seven notes, and typing Shift+; to exit tuplet mode.
Then select the eighth note tool, type ; and either just 3 or 3:2, enter the two triplets, and type Shift+; to exit tuplet mode.
Here’s the section in the manual:
