How to move Figures up from the end?

I am trying to use a Latex template which for whatever reason is always putting figures at the end even though I have one section (Appendix) written after the command to input figures. Any idea how to move the figures before the last section ? There are a lot of other files part of the template package that I don’t understand. I am trying to compile this on Overleaf.

Here is the sequence of commands

makeaffiliation

input{aktomo_figs}

clearpage

section{Appendix A1 blah blah blah}

Text in that section

end{document}

The file aktomo_figs.tex has figures in the following format

%clearpagepagebreak
begin{figure}
includegraphics[width=16cm]{figures/fig1.jpg}
caption[Figure description here]
{
Description of the figure blah blah blah
label{fig:figg1}
}
end{figure}

When I compile this Overleaf always plots the figures at the end even though there is supposed to be a section after that. Any idea how to fix this ? Thanks.
