I'm brand new to Figma and I downloaded a free icons plugin. When you hover over an icon in the plugin window, the cursor changes to a grabbing hand, indicating you're supposed to drag and drop the icon into your design. But when I do that, a 🚫 appears over my cursor and it won't drop in. What am I doing wrong?

@lucid shard Did you drag them into a frame or just the background? I just tried to replicate the problem. And it seems if I drag it into a frame, it works.

#

OH wait, nevermind. It just looks like it's "dropping"
