Having the template and all of the separate images open at the same time will eat into available RAM.

Better to only have the template file open, then script the process by selecting a folder or files from the script.

Please use complete and meaningful sentences to describe your intentions.

Copy/pasting and even dragging/dropping Layers seem unnecessary if the images are existing jpgs – simply placing them as Smart Objects would seem more efficient in this case.

All type layers works not to only Shapes layers works

You can do it with frame tool, actions and my script from How to change the order of open documents for an action?

a slightly different approach you can see in this thread - repeats the layer , Sort Layer and Auto Arrange by position

If the goal is to set up four rectangles as placeholders, draw them using the Frame tool. When they are frames, they are placeholders for future graphics, so all you have to do is select a frame and paste an image you copied from another document. It pastes inside the frame.

Copy/pasting seems like a waste of resources (provided the placed images are flat, at least), but please describe the EXACT and COMPLETE scenario.

Is the active image is the receiving one, should all other open images be inserted in that, do the imagesthat are to be placed flat, …?
