how to flow 3d objects onto a surface? URGENT HELP!

Hi,

Please help - I am not very familiar with grasshopper but I have an assignment due in the morning and have been trying for weeks. I have a series of 3d objects that are connected with curves (3d tensegrity) and would like to lay them onto a curved surface.

I have tried 'flow along srf' in rhino and had no luck, I have attached a screenshot of what happens. Is there any way of doing this in grasshopper in a way that will not distort the objects? I am not even fussed about getting it perfect, as long as it sort of does what I need it to do..

Thanks for your help!

Sorry, my quick stab at it doesn't really amount to much. But here's the file anyway, I was trying to get the box morph to achieve the desired results.
