Banishing more than 2 monsters with Machina Ruinforce

"Cannot be Normal Summoned/Set. Must be Special Summoned (from your GY) by banishing Machine monsters from your GY whose total Levels equal 12 or more..."

When it says 12 or MORE, I took it to mean I could banish as many machine monsters in my graveyard as I want.

I'm trying to use this card in a combo and the simulator is not letting me banish more than two monsters.

ie: if I have one of each level 3, level 9, and level 8 machine monsters in my GY, The sim is only allowing me to either banish the level 8 + 9 OR level 9 + 3

But what I really want to do is banish the level 3 and 8.

Is this just a mistake from the sim? or am I legally allowed to banish the 3+8+9 from my GY?

It is the same type of thing as a Ritual Summon. You can't continue to banish once you meet the requirement, nor is there an order to it, so you can't say "I'm going to banish 3, then 8, then 9".
