PSE template question

[LynnZant]

I wiggin' out here. After losing my hard drive, I'm trying to claw my way back. I'm jumping from PSE5 to PSE2020. Not sure I'm going to land, though.


I'm trying to use a template. I select the layer that I want to clip a paper to, drag in a paper from my photo bin, and it shoots it somewhere else in the template. It does the same when I want to replace a flower. It doesn't even shoot it to the top layer which would make sense. I've been sitting here for over an hour looking at tutorials and searching for an answer.


Am I missing something? Adobe is making me feel dense. On a brighter note, I have figured out a few of the other basics.
