Decal distorts when adjusting the scale

I am new to dimension and 3d. I made an object in photoshop and exported to dimension as .obj. When I add a graphic and try to scale it up it glitches and distorts. I tried 'uv map' and using the image as a fill but neither would work for me. Hopefully the video explains my issue better:

These is known bug for Dn for decals that are placed on spherical and conical 3d object.  Please review my video about new features in updated version 3.4 of Dn. https://youtu.be/jFFqWHD3Q_4

Hi Ares, thank you so much! That was the answer. For some reason, my Uv maps would not export into my chosen folder (It would open up empty each time) but I was able to save to the desktop and place the artwork onto the UV map from there.
Being new to dimension it also helped me understand the maps and where is was going wrong, so thanks again!

a very good guide for the new tool Ares... this should help people understand what UV maps are and how to fix errors caused by them
