I have to say I find it takes an awfully long time fitting 15 pictures...

I don't find it useful - it gets it wrong most times - and I have to go back and manually fit them all anyway.

It would help to see the actual frame for the graphic highlighted. Another possibility could be that they clicked the flip vertical button on the frame at some point?

Please check this setting and make sure it's NOT checked:

Preferences > General > Content-Aware Fit > Make Content-Aware Fit the default frame fitting option.

... Because the AI algorithm may have decided this looks better upside down? Interesting. I've seen lots of examples from Adobe but none of their pictures were flipped.

Many of the beta testers thought the Content-aware Fit algorithm was more reliable with raster images than vector but I never had the time to do extensive testing. I just wanted to see if the user had purposefully or accidentally turned that setting on.
