If you're trying to clip the image to Rectangle 1, the image has to be on top of the rectangle. Currently it appears that you've clipped the image to layer 1(which is the size of the artboard), and the placed a white square on top of it. You say the image has to be behind Rectangle 1 but as long as you have it set up the way you do, Rectangle 1 isn't going to allow you to see the image unless you hide the layer or set it to 0 opacity.

I suspect your layer panel should look more like this:
