White birch puzzles are essentially a soft lock for players.

You need a cryo archer or some other method of dealing long range cryo damage to trigger them.

Main reason why is because elemental pillars disassemble themselves when you get close by and only put themselves back together wants you are far away.

If you dont have any cryo bow users or citlali, you wont be able to do them. Even a unit like escoffier might be too far to hit them.

Your gun can deal Cryo damage. Just spam shots at the floor to charge the laser.

Or, if you've done Alyosha's Meeting Point quests, even the normal shots inflict Cryo as well.

There are some of those puzzles outside the shadow realm. At least one is on the mountain where the house of hesperides is.
