You cannot control where pictures occur within a text body in latex, it decides for you. You can give it recommendations, but it’ll figure out the final alignment when rendering to page. I’m not sure that’s a limitation you want for design-focused use cases.

And if you want to do something seriously nice you need to code a it in latex’s reverse Polish notation code language from hell, let me tell you latex ain’t the future of ease haha
