Why is anchored object not working like they used to?

OK, I feel like I'm losing it. I'm editing a document that has anchored objects. It's been a while since I've done this. I am adding an anchored element. It's not pushing the existing text below it down, as I would expect. See screen captures. 
#1 shows how the new anchored object (just an orange box) doesn't push down the Step 11 text. Also shows the anchor settings.

 

#2 shows the paragraph setting/window on the right, in case that helps.

 

#3 shows an existing anchored object (already in the document)  that is working as expected--and the inline anchor settings. Step #2 in this screen capture is below the anchored element, not overlapping.

 

#4 shows the paragraph setting/window for the one that is working. 

 

What am I doing wrong with the first one that the orange box is overlapping the text/paragraphs below? I don't remember running into this before! Using InDesign 2023 (18.5) on Mac OS Ventura 13.6.5.

You might want to set the Text Wrap parameters to get text to flow around an object. 🙂

Oh fer... and that's the setting I didn't think to check. I had been thinking an anchored object would push the text automatically. Like I said, it's been a while since I did this. Thank you.
