  The production mechanism of light nuclei in heavy-ion collisions is vital to
understanding the intricate details of nucleon-nucleon interactions. The
coalescence of nucleons is a well-known mechanism that attempts to explain the
production mechanism of these light clusters. This work investigates the
formation mechanism of these nucleon clusters with a combination of coalescence
and femtoscopy of nucleons and nuclei. It is achieved by appending a
coalescence and correlation afterburner (\texttt{CRAB}) to the \texttt{SMASH}
transport model. To have a proper view of the anisotropy of light nuclei
clusters, a mean-field approach to \texttt{SMASH} is applied. The anisotropic
coefficients of various light nuclei clusters are calculated and compared to
experimental measurements. To incorporate hydrodynamics into the picture, the
anisotropic measurements are completed in a hybrid
\texttt{SMASH}+\texttt{vHLLE} mode. In both approaches, the femtoscopy of
nucleons and light nuclei is performed, reported with CRAB, and compared to the
latest experimental measurements. An insight into cluster formation time is
drawn by extracting the emission source size with the Lednick\'y-Lyuboshits
(LL) model.
