Are they spring terminal blocks? You push down on the orange button, insert your wire and let go on those.

That was my initial thought, but there’s little to no give in the orange button. If anything it only felt like a little play you get between loosely coupled mechanical pieces. That’s when I tried operating it like a clamp and broke one off.

Have you tried inserting (solid core) installation wire? My guess is that it’s some sort of spring clamp, that is triggered by pushing in a wire. The orange things are only used when taking a wire out.
