The reason that its not working is that its incomplete. The shorter triplet group should in fact be eighth notes, not 16th notes. The triplet 16th notes make up half of one of the quarter notes, and so as a result Finale is still waiting for a note or group of notes 1 eighth note in duration before it can complete the larger quarter note triplet. If you input the smaller group as eighth notes, you'll find this solves your problem. To notate them as 16th notes is incorrect; it doesn't add up.
