Please show why it doesn't work.

Thank you all. I was able to move to create a new layer and move that layer right on top of the existing image and it worked like a charm

Hi Jerry,

Thanks for reaching out. As Monika mentioned, we would need a few more details to help you on this. To replace a placed image simply click 'Relink' in the Layers panel or in Place dialog box while placing it. Please take a look at this GIF:

You can also refer to this video tutorial for more details: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cL4FpDkzEN4

I followed the youtube video but for some reason I don't see the 'Replace' highlighted for me to click on when I went to place. I'm not sure why the Replace button is not lit.

Replace button is only active when an image is selected in the artwork. You still have not explained what should be replaced by what (the files you mentioned above are the exact same files). This would be somehow important.
