Latex keeps putting the image below the text, even though the text is below the image in my source code. How can I resolve this?

Here is my source code:

\documentclass[11pt]{article}
\usepackage{indentfirst}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage[margin=1in]{geometry}
\setlength{\parindent}{0pt}
\setlength{\parskip}{1.25ex}
 ...
\section{Component II: Shifters}
    For this component, we used some sub-circuits, and we shall explain those first.
\subsection{Diagram &amp; Description}
\begin{figure}[htp]
    \centering
    \includegraphics[scale=.56]{ob.png}
\end{figure}

What code did you use to create the picture in your question? You should also consider reading How to influence the position of float environments like figure and table in LaTeX? – Werner Feb 20 '22 at 00:03

you have not provided a test file that shows the issue, but the only function of the figure environment is to specify that its content can be taken out of the document flow and inserted elsewhere to help with page breaking (known as a float) so what you describe is the expected behaviour. – David Carlisle Feb 20 '22 at 00:13

looking at your output screenshot, there is not room for the image below the haeading so your h option can not be used so it used the t option, placing it at the top of the next page. This would appear to be a good outcome. – David Carlisle Feb 20 '22 at 00:15
