Interacting with soul core altars in ultimatum

There is no way to interact with the altar and place the soul core when there is an enemy on screen. I have tried using both targeting modes, holding the right stick, flicking the right stick.

This needs to be fixed ASAP since you gain increasing stacks of DOT while holding the soul core, but have no way to place it

I believe the solution to this is the same as the solution to looting, making it so there's no other action you can perform with that hotkey. I bind my loot and interact to L2+Y. It's awkward, but I have nothing else bound there (the ability slot has to be empty but you can still bind loot/interact to it) so I can loot or interact with game items in combat.

It's a bit awkward but a good workaround for the time being. Once you get used to it it's definitely better than having to always finish combat to loot or interact.
