    Both your table and your chart are inline with text. If they must stay inline with text, then Doug's solution will work.

    As alternatives, you can make the table float by choosing Table Design Layout>Properties>Table and choosing Around in the Text Wrapping section. This would allow you to place the table to the right of the chart.

    Or you can float the chart by selecting it and choosing Picture Format>Wrap Text>In Front of Text. This was Bob's suggestion and will allow you to place the chart to the right of the table.

    Add a column on the right hand side of the table and insert the image into a cell in that column with the text wrapping set to In line with text.

    Doug's suggestion may be the best solution.

    I can't tell much from a limited screen shot especially without the non-printing characters displayed but if you would like to share a sample file on OneDrive or similar I'll take a firsthand look. Paste a link into a reply here.

    If you need it: Share OneDrive files and folders

    Are you applying wrap to the Table? The Text Wrap needs to be applied to the picture:

    If that isn't the solution please provide a clearer explanation of the specific steps you're taking & exactly how it fails. A screen shot may be helpful.

    Include present macOS & Office Version Numbers as well.
