How do you link up the lollipops using Enterprise Architect - Component Diagram (assembly relationship)

Question

I am busy putting together a component diagram using EA by Sparx System (version 15.1).

I would like to achieve the top diagram (component A and B). However when I setup an assembly relationship you need to configure a required and a provided interface (with / without port). I have tried a few options (C & D / E & F) but am unable to link the lolipops like A & B.

Any experience here would be useful how to achieve this. The EA documentation is very poor.
