Can this be done in NX? And if so, how?

I need to maintain contact between the two blue surfaces and the yellow surface as the green component is rotated/translated. I've tried multiple combinations of touch/align/angle but it always ends up either being outright over-constrained or prevents dynamic movement. I would like the multiple connected blue and yellow faces to act act as one surface but can deal with touch constraints on/off as needed.

Discretize your surfaces so that multipoint contact does not occur. Allow the contact algorithm to solve for only one contact point per face pair.
