Dialogflow - Force to detect the format [Date][Number] as Date & Time

I am developing a bot using Dialogflow and I ask my user for the date and time. I have 2 entities that are @sys.date and @sys.time They might reply like "Monday 4pm". Sometimes they just reply "Monday 4". What I expect is it will extract Monday is sys.date and 4 is sys.time. But it is looking for the next Monday 4th and only extracts @sys.date which is Mon 4th, @sys.time is empty.

How can I force Dialogflow to detect that the number 4 is the time, not the number of date?

I would appreciate any help, thanks!

If you set both of the parameters/entities as "required" you can add a prompt to the user for the information. This will allow them to enter the data separately so the bot doesn't confuse the 2 together. It would go something like this: bot: "What is the date?" customer: "Monday" bot: "What time?" customer: "4PM" Here's an example
