Correct answer Manan Joshi

If you have the selection of the object you can place the image into it as follows

app.selection[0].place(File("/Users/manan/Downloads/download.jpeg")) //Change the path

 If you have a name applied to the object that will help you identify it, similar to what you are doing in your code, you could do the following

app.documents[0].pageItems.itemByName("test").place(File("/Users/manan/Downloads/download.jpeg"))

Here test is the name of the object(visible in the layers panel, you can change it to anything that you want)

    What are you trying to do, can you send the sample document and show me what you are trying to place and into which element?
