If you can solve the logic puzzle, you can put all 5 items directly into the correct niches. Otherwise, place them and switch their places (click on one then click on another). The clues are:

“Hapy is standing to the left,” so he must go into one of the niches on the left.
“Duamutef resented Hapy,” so Hapy and Duamutef can’t be next to each other.
“Qebehsenuf stood by his father’s left hand,” so Qebehsenuf must go in one of the two niches on the right. Since you’re facing him, Horus’ left hand is on your right.
“Imsety had…ill will towards Duamutef,” so they can’t be next to each other, either.
Horus also can’t go into the far right niche since Qebehsenuf must be to Horus’ right.
Hapy and Imsety must be next to each other, Qebehsenuf and Duamutef also must be next to each other so, this means Horus must be in the middle.

The correct order: Hapy, Imsety, Horus, Qebehsenuf and Duamutef. Click on the Handle and the Sarcophagus will lower.

Click on the following for the video solution. The solution is always the same.
