Hi there,
Apologies, I am very new to illustrator.
I have downloaded a tempate to try and learn on, there is a layer "Add your image here" im really confused what or how Im supposed to change this layer and add an image?
Very very simple i know but I just cant figure it out.
Any help greatly appriciated.

It's not simple at all -- these attempts at templates rarely are. Was it from Adobe Stock? Can you link to the stock template?

It looks like it's a clipping mask defined for the layer.
So: You need to put your photo on that layer on top of the placeholder image. You can do that by placing your photo and arranging it. Then Edit > Cut
Then select that placeholder and Edit > Paste in front.
In the layers panel you can then just drag the placeholder into the trash.
The clipping mask should work automatically, since it's defined for the layer.
