Second print, only supports printed

Hello, after several times with FDM i bought saturn ultra 4.

I want to print there mainly supportless miniatures.

First print i just mashed my supportless minis on plate in lychee without any supports, pressed print and everything printed great. But i had problem with removing minis from plate, like it was doable, but as they are small, i broken few pieces in process.

Did little bit research and learned i should use supports, which make sense, my idea is i will remove minis from supports, which should be easy, and then i will scrape just supports base from plate, hence no broken mini.

So in lychee i moved minis 5mm up and added light automatic supports. Some minis i tilted, some not, for sake of testing.

For all minis i added support, only supports got printed. What should i look into please?
My goal is to have supportless minis printed on supports under baseso they are easily removed, but i dont want supports to touching body of mini, i need as little postprocessing as possible.

On plate you can see 2 minis printed correctly, they are some fancy presupported minis i wanted to also try - since they printed ok, i guess its not about resin settings, but supports.

THanks for any help in advance!
