Issue inserting an image after a certain phrase

I want to insert an image after a certain phrase. I am testing on the following document:
chapters_generator33354.docx (39.7 KB)

I am using the following code:

import sys
import aspose.words as aw
import requests
from io import BytesIO

def insert_image_after_phrase(doc_path, phrase_match, image_url):
    # Create Aspose Words document object
    document = aw.Document(doc_path)
    builder = aw.DocumentBuilder(document)
    # Download the image from the URL
    response = requests.get(image_url)
    image_bytes = BytesIO(response.content)

    for r in document.get_child_nodes(aw.NodeType.RUN, True):
        run = r.as_run()
        if phrase_match in run.text:
            builder.move_to(run)
            builder.insert_image(image_bytes)
    # Save the document
    document.save(doc_path)

# Usage example:
if __name__ == "__main__":
    if len(sys.argv) != 4:
        print("Usage: python script.py <doc_path> <phrase_match> <image_url>")
        sys.exit(1)

    doc_path = sys.argv[1]
    phrase_match = sys.argv[2]
    image_url = sys.argv[3]

    insert_image_after_phrase(doc_path, phrase_match, image_url)

I run it like this:
python3 insert_img_after_phrase.py chapters_generator33354.docx "Infine, non dimentichiamo l'importanza dell'acquacoltura " "https://cdn.leonardo.ai/users/e084d054-0537-4095-a7b6-4ca61b2950ac/generations/47a21e29-e31c-49c7-9aa3-3851d7683189/Default_An_illustrative_image_depicting_the_journey_of_Rossi_0.jpg"

The image is inserted before the phrase. When I tried to insert the image after the phrase using:

for r in document.get_child_nodes(aw.NodeType.RUN, True):
        run = r.as_run()
        if phrase_match in run.text:
            next_run = run.next_sibling
            if next_run is not None:
                builder.move_to(next_run)
                builder.insert_image(image_bytes)
            break

The image is not inserted at all.

Any help is appreciated.

@ansar2024 It is not mandatory that the whole phrase is represented as a single Run. You can use find/replace functionality to replace the phrase with itself to make it to be represented as a single Run and then insert the image. For example see the following code:

phrase_match = "Infine, non dimentichiamo l'importanza dell'acquacoltura"
img = "https://cdn.leonardo.ai/users/e084d054-0537-4095-a7b6-4ca61b2950ac/generations/47a21e29-e31c-49c7-9aa3-3851d7683189/Default_An_illustrative_image_depicting_the_journey_of_Rossi_0.jpg"

doc = aw.Document("C:\\Temp\\in.docx")
builder = aw.DocumentBuilder(doc)

# replace thr phrase with itself to make it to be represented as a single Run.
doc.range.replace(phrase_match, phrase_match)

# Insert an image after the phrase
for r in doc.get_child_nodes(aw.NodeType.RUN, True):
    run = r.as_run()
    if phrase_match == run.text:
        # put an empty run after the matched Run
        dummy = run.parent_node.insert_after(aw.Run(doc), run)
        builder.move_to(dummy)
        builder.insert_image(img)

# Save the document
doc.save("C:\\Temp\\out.docx")
