using shap library for model understanding when model input is a list of tensors

I'm fairly new to deep learning models, how to design them, and how to understand them. I'm trying to understand my model using the SHAP library, but having some issues with following a tutorial.

My model's forward function looks like this, where the input is a list of tensors.

def forward(self, batch, runValidation=False):
        [
            visual_features, token_ids, token_masks, labels, xpath_ids,
            class_ids, attr_token_masks
        ] = batch
        ...
        return loss, class_loss, pr_result, output, visual_features

But based on the tutorial and error messages I'm getting, it seems that SHAP expects the model inputs and outputs to be tensors. Namely, background and x_test_each_class seem to be tensors.

# select backgroud for shap
background = x_train[np.random.choice(x_train.shape[0], 1000, replace=False)]

# DeepExplainer to explain predictions of the model
explainer = shap.DeepExplainer(model, background)

# compute shap values
shap_values = explainer.shap_values(x_test_each_class)

My questions are:

1. Is this proper model design to have the input/output be a list of tensors?
2. If yes, then is it still possible for me to use SHAP on this model?
