Hi, I am testing a model as below
at Level 1
IV--Mediator1----Mediator2----DV1 and DV2
whereas
s1 | Mediator 1 ON IV;
s2 | Mediator 2 ON Mediator1;

Moderator 1 (level1) moderates s2

at Level 2

Moderator 2 moderates s1 and s2

Given that s2 is moderated by both a level 1 moderator (moderator1) and a level 2 moderator (moderator2), is it possible to test the whole model simultaneously? Or do I have to run the moderation analysis separately?
Thank you!

How do you moderate s2 (a level-2 variable) by a level-1 moderator?

could I partial out S2 to within- and between-level? Is it possible? Thanks.

No, s2 varies only over the Between units.
