Mockup greyed out in AI Beta

I've dropped my vector logo image onto my .PNG image of a girl wearing a teeshirt.
I go to Object/mockup/place, but 'place & release' are greyed out.

 

Any suggestions please?

Pixel on Pixel does not work. Top object needs to be vector

I've put an .SVG of a logo on top of both an adobe stock image and an owned image but mockup beta is still inaccessible for me.
I have tried every variation of opening the original artwork individually, then copy [pasting into the a new project. The logo is arranged in the front, both are embedded objects, I have also tried with both images saved as .SVG vectors but this appears to not work for me. 

the files I am trying to work with in both PNG/JPG fomrat as well as as SVGs.
I'm super lost here.

An SVG is not necessarily a vector file.

Okay wait, I see once I did the message trace it was then a vector that I could bring overt to the other image and do the mockup. Second questino is how to I make the background, outside of the letters in the vector, transparent. My goal is for it to look like a stitched logo on the gament. So i can send the concept to a seamstress.

 


You would need to expand the trace and then delete that part. 

Don't you have a vector version of that logo?

 

And really it would be easier to open the jacket and the logo in Photoshop, delete the white part and just leave it on top of that jacket. There is no distortion to be expected.

Stupid question, but mock up is greyed out for me, can you do png on png file for this? I tried going to the window link etc but doesn't work.

The logo looks like a linked file. If it's really a vector file, try embedding it first.

Correct! I had to go to the links window, click on the menu (three lines) then click 'embed image'.
Now I can apply the mockup and it works fantastically. Thank you!
