How do I move my widgets next to my apps?

ive seen a bunch of videos where people add custom widgets onto my home screen. I’ve downloaded the custom widget app and added it, but it was on today view, not next to my apps. How do I move it? Whenever I try jiggling it won’t let me take it off today view. I am on iOS 14.

iPad, iPadOS 14

How can I put Home Screen widgets back on the side like they were is iOS 14? I just upgraded to iOS 15, and do not like the widgets across the top on my Home Screen. How can I get them back to the left side? The look right on the “today" view, but I liked and was familiar with where everything was before the "upgrade." Also, it takes up more room across the top, so som of my constantly used apps have been bumped.

Moving widgets So recently there has been an update a month or two ago where apps can now have "widgets" of them that display info about them without having to actually launch the app. I really like that feature, but here's my problem: Why is there no app library or home widgets on iPads? For example iPhone users have an app library where they can keep track of all their apps at once, while iPad users dont. Also, iPad users can only put widgets on the "Today View" while iPhone users can put them wherever they want on the actual home screen. I was really looking forward to fully customizing my home screen like the other people are, but for some reason when I try to move a widget with the smaller apps, it disappears and returns to where it was before. Please fix this. :(
