My guess is that throwing them on the Aron comes from the minhag in the bais hamikdash where when they finished hoshanos they left their hoshanos by the mizbeach and said “Yoyfee licha mizbeach”-“beauty to you mizbeach” and regarding hitting them I saw that one should beat them only five times no more no less. And why we hit them look in the Zoyhar parshas tzav daff ?? Amud ?
