Set the post ID in a view

I am trying to create a view from a post with sections and pages that are clonable. Below you can see the view I am starting to make. You can see here
{% set post = mb.get_post( the_post_id ) %}
the post id is being set via a function in this case its 16. Some fields show properly {{ clone.section_name }} and {{ clone.page_name }} work fine. {{ clone.page_name }} does not work.

If I do not use the short code and just show the page removing

{% set the_post_id = mb.get_pid() %}
{% set post = mb.get_post( the_post_id ) %}

it all works.

Ultimately how can I set the post I want the view to show if I use the shortcode?

Menu
{# 
Get the post id
mb.get_pid() is pulling from a function set in snippits
#}
{% set the_post_id = mb.get_pid() %}
{% set post = mb.get_post( the_post_id ) %}

{# Build the menu #}
{% for clone in post.section %}
    {{ clone.section_name }}
    {% for clone in clone.page %}
        {{ clone.page_name }}
        {{ clone.post.title }}
    {% endfor %}
{% endfor %}
