As far as I know, you cannot do this in PaperUI Simple Mode. You need to define the Items and add them to Groups. In Simple Mode you have no ability to change anything about the Item which includes adding it to a group.

I’m not even certain you can do it through PaperUI at all. I use .items files myself.
