It doesn't matter in which order you put in the chemicals. One is primarily for removing chlorine and providing a slime coat, while the other is building up your "good" bacteria.

My fish won't let me pick them up. Is this normal?
Of course it's normal. Fish are not toys. They are living creatures who do not like to be picked up and if you insist on doing it you can expect the fish to die fairly soon from stress if not from other infections. Handling a fish damages its protective coating of slime. The next thing that happens after the slime coat is damaged is the fish gets a fungal infection and then it dies.
