BryceHoro and David Brinnen actually helped me find the answer to this question. Seems that Bryce primitives can not be instanced. There is no need to instance them because they use up almost no memory. You can replicate them instead with hardly any memory usage. I was directed to this large study tutorial on instancing. Just started reading it, will take a while. https://horo.ch/docs/guests/pdf/InstancingLab_Kine_magiK.pdf
