How To Move App Icons to Existing Folder?

I have an iPhone 7 plus with ios 11.4 and itunes 12.8. On my home screen I have a folder called News that contains numerous icons for apps such as NYT, Washington Post, AP, etc etc. I have downloaded from the App Store an app for CNN. I want to move it into my News folder but using the usual method - getting the wiggle going and dragging it to the News folder - doesn't work.

Is there a method I'm missing?

As an example of how to use 3D Touch, press hard on the Settings icon or the Mail icon. Each app has a "shortcut" response appropriate to the app.

Thanks. I just tried it and it's very interesting, but the question for me is: does 3D Touch affect my ability to move apps into folders?
