regarding the smenatism of PIE *bhag- I ask myself if the Rom. verb
"bãga" is to put here.
I can just give some of the meanings since it seems this word is one of
the richestes in senses & expresions in Rom. Lang.
The word has no etymology in Rom. Lang:

a bãga= vt to thrust, to shove; to introduce; to put in; to put into; to
insert; "a-si baga nasul" în to poke one's nose into...; "a baga de
seama" to notice; "baga de seama!" be careful!, look out!
vr to meddle; to interfere; to pop in; to intrude; "a se baga în
discutie" to chime in; "a se baga în sufletul cuiva" to win somebody's
favor; "a se baga pe sub pielea cuiva" to ingratiate oneself with
somebody; "a baga de seama" to observ, to notice
