Let me know if I'm understanding this correctly...
You want the 4 frames on the left (body, graphic, URL, CTA) to populate the mockup on the right, and you want to be able to edit those 4 frames and have the updates reflect in the mockup?If so, you need to think of Main Components as the source of truth in your designs. Meaning that you typically wont be building with them directly, rather you set them up and use the instances of each to construct the larger whole. This way if you reuse your CTA in 50 places, but want to change the font, color, corner radius etc, you can do it once on the Main Component and see the changes reflected in all 50 places at once.
I took a stab at rebuilding what I *think* you're trying to achieve. I setup individual components for each part. And then combined the instances of those parts into a new component, which I then dropped into a mock-up. Red arrows show instances being used.
If I missed the mark, ignore me, but happy to continue and try to help you figure it out if needed :D
