Selection Tool not working on some images
I am trying to arrange some embedded images in Illustrator to create a pattern. Using the Selection tool, I am able to click on all the images to move them, except for one. All the images are PNGs that were created the same way, placed in Illustrator, and then embedded. I have tried to delete the image and place/embed it again, but I still cannot select it with the Selection tool unless I move my cursor to the edge of the bounding box and select the bounding box, or unless I click and drag over the image to select it. Once it's been selected, I still have to move the image by clicking right on the bounding box edge to do so. This is obviously frustrating, as it inhibits workflow because of A) not being able to remember which specific image I have to be so specific about and B) when the image overlaps other images, I could easily click on the wrong thing if not being super precise and careful.
I have checked my Selection & Anchor Display prefences, and the "Object Selection by Path Only" is not checked. I have restarted my computer 3x and it is still doing this, and I have recently updated my Illustrator.
**EDIT: I just realized there is actually another image that this is now happening with in the same file.
***SECOND EDIT: I get the names of Direct Selection and Selection tool confused all the time. I have been using the Selection tool.
