To summarize, you must utilize two connectors to interchain a beam from one point to another and unlock the barrier for the palm reader panel at the end. You should make sure that the Keep Connections option is turned on, as you will need it at a couple of points over the course of solving this puzzle.

Enter the chamber and walk down the path. Turn right, and keep walking till the end of this hallway. Take the first connector (hereby termed Connector 1) and join the receptor and the emitter to activate it. This will remove the barrier from the window to the right.

Pick up the second connector (or Connector 2) and attach it to the emitter, receptor, and Connector 1. Instead of setting it down here, take it to the other side of the window and place it there. This should keep the barrier active so you can go back and pick up Connector 1 without issue.

Add the new receptor on the wall pictured above so that a total of four icons will be visible under your aiming reticle. Pick Connector 2 back up using Keep Connections and add the previously-mentioned receptor to the queue as Connector 1 and place it in front of the window through which said receptor is visible. Now pick Connector 2 again, keeping the connections, and take it to the chamber beyond this window.

Connect it to the next receptor, which will open up the final barrier. Pass through and interact with the panel in the end to claim your reward and move on to the next challenge.
