To have your recipe photos positions different than the default before/top of recipe, go to Editor Activities>Layout & Design. Click the "Select Recipe Layout" shortcut. Scroll below the recipe layout options and you'll see many settings. Look for "Recipe Photo Position:" You will see a thumbnail of the current setting. To view all options, click the "+" to expand photo position options. There are many to choose from! You can see a sample pop-up image of any view by clicking that shortcut. To select one, click the option circle. Then click Save.
If you wish to force all recipes that may have unique photo positions set to use the new choice, check the box "Reset all recipes to this default photo position setting" prior to clicking Save. (you can also do this any time to reset the global photo position on recipes).
