inserting a videoclip into a video timeline

In Premiere Elements 2024 for Windows, how I can insert a videoclip between
other two without overlapping.

I have tried two methods, but both failed :  I drag and drop the videoclip into the desired position while I keep pressed the Control  key  or  Control+Shift

    I finally got the solution, which is very subtle :  I shoud rtelease the Control key before releasing the mouse. Thanks for writing.

    Assuming those yellow veritical lines in your illustration are actual breaks in the video, it should work. The Insert command won’t break the clip on Video 1 on its own.
