Create Materials List from Symbol

Hey everyone! I am hoping to get some expertise here.

 

I have created a garden box made from multiple 2x4, 1x4 etc. (see image). I've actually stacked the planks on top of each other because I wanted to create an actual count / cost per box etc, so I was detailed.

 

Because I will be using these boxes on a regular basis, my smart self went and created symbols so I could have them in my library etc. All the different sizes I will be needing. Unfortunately, now when I go to create the materials list - it is reading each box as a SINGLE item in my list rather than breaking it out (8 - 2x4x8, 8 - 2x4x2, 4 - 1x4x4 etc.)

 

Am I missing something or is this just not a feasible thing?
