Light nuclei and hyper-nuclei are produced in abundance in heavyion collisions. The production mechanism of these species in heavy-ion collisions still remains to be understood. In these proceedings, we report the transverse momentum and centrality dependence of elliptic flow (υ2) of d, t, and 3He in Au+Au collisions at √SNN = 14.6, 19.6, 27, and 54.4 GeV. Mass number scaling of υ2(pT) of light nuclei is shown. We also report the first observation of hyper-nuclei Λ3H and Λ4H directed flow (υ1) in √SNN = 3 GeV mid-central (5-40%) Au+Au collisions in the fixed target mode.
