Weird text wrap issue in InDesign

I had an image displayed on the left side of a book cover I m working on that was making text wrap along its right. I changed my mind and decided to place the image on the right instead and have the text wrap along the left. Only, a big empty space shows up where the image used to be as I try to place the text on the left.

I get the feeling I am missing something really obvious but I checked the text wrap properties and nothing tried made the space go away. I also removed the image altogether yet the big empty space is still there. Attached is a video to show you what I mean. 

I'm really scratching my head on this one. I'm hoping someone here can help. Thanks in advance!
