Flow that extracts zip folder and moves all subfolders to parent folder, then deletes zip. Help!

Hello,

  

I'm trying to understand this, but I have no idea what I'm doing wrong here. I'm using the "When a zip file is added to a Sharepoint library extract file contents" template and trying to add on functionality that will check to see if the unzipped folder has subfolders, and if so to move all those subfolders to the same folder that the zip is in, but I keep getting errors and I believe it's due to now understanding the dynamic content. 

 

I start with the template instructions telling it that whenever a zip file is created, extract the folder to its current location. This is done as so.

 

Step 1.

  The only step left is the delete, which works fine. 

 

Everything I've tried always ends at the List folder step, where either it tells me the Resource Could Not be Found, or as this currently exists, it succeeds, but tells me the  condition 2 isFolder is false, when I know it's true. 

  

I'm kinda dumb when it comes to programming and I'm having a hard time pointing the flow to where I want it to go. Like, I know I want the flow to check if the extracted file has subfolders, and then move those subfolders to the folder the zip is in, but I can't seem to figure out how to put that in programming lingo.
