But how do you paste it after the screenshot is captured?

See the following from Take a screenshot on your Mac - Apple Support

• To copy a screenshot to the Clipboard, press and hold the Control key while you take the screenshot. You can then paste the screenshot somewhere else. Or use Universal Clipboard to paste it on another Apple device.

or go to the screenshot and copy it.

Then paste using command V or the Edit menu Paste command.

In general, you either press Command V, or use "Paste" from the Edit menu of an app.

I made a faux pas.
