Is there a way to data merge multiple images into the same document? How would I differentiate the column names in the spreadsheet? I know the image column header should be "'@image" but what would the subsequent ones be named?

Since, as you mentioned, all of your images are in one folder, you can put just the image_name.extension in the image columns

" I have multiple columns with image file paths in them, but it's still not displaying anything."

It could have to do with how the paths are written. I avoid this by putting all of my images in one folder, and placing the data file in the same folder. This removes the need for file paths, so I can use the file name only.

All of my images are in 1 folder. This is how I have the paths written out: Desktop/DataMergeTest/Images/anthony-delanoix-DIzG6BMK9zk-unsplash.jpg

My spreadsheet headings for the images are "@image", "@background" and "@lophotos" ..

The only critical portion of the column name is the @

any name is fine that follows that convention. @photo, @inuse, @portrait, @whatever.
(within excel, the ' is necesary to keep the program from seeing the @ as an operator.)
