I have no idea what you tried, but the below works as expected for me.

\version "2.24.1"
\language "english"

global = {
  \key e \minor
  \time 6/8
}

melody = \relative c' {
  \global
  \tuplet 3/2 8 { e16 [ g e ] g [ e g ] a [ e a ] b [ d b ] c [ g c ] b g b} |
  \tuplet 3/2 8 { e16 g e g e g a e a b d b c g c b g b} |
}

\score {
  <<
    \new Staff \melody
    \new Staff \with {
      beamExceptions = \beamExceptions { \tuplet 3/2 {
	16 [ 16 16 ] 16 [ 16 16 ] 16 [ 16 16 ] 16 [ 16 16 ] 16 [ 16 16 ] 16 [ 16 16 ] } } }
    \melody
  >>
}
