Nested components

Hey, I'm quite a beginner here. So little help would be much appreciated.

Actually I'm stuck at the part of placing a component within a component ( nested components). I will explain my problem here more by inserting few pictures below. My problem is that whenever I try to place this icon as a component in the master component it instead replaces all the components and this icon become a component itself. Whenever I try to place it inside the main component's box alongside the email text, it instead replaces it into the icon.
