Elements 12 color swatch docking issues

My 5 year old laptop died.  Boy do I hate change and love standardization.  But that's not relevant to this post. 

I have Elements 12 (and thought I had 13, did I digitally upgrade and now lost that upgrade?  This is why I like discs) and the color swatch panel won't dock.  In the set up on the old computer, I recall having this issue but must have found a solution online.  However, I must not be wording it the same as I can't find any videos for this.  Too outdated, probably.  

Yesterday, my first Elements session on the new laptop, I couldn't even move the panel, it would snap back to where it spawned.  I did do an update and today I can move it, but still can't dock it. 

I had it set up so that the swatches were on the right and the layers were conneceted, on the left, of the swatches panel.  I'm hoping, with someone's help, I can acheive that again.

I did a search here but probably am not wording it correctly to get proper information.

I thank you in advace for your friendly assistance.
