I would like to be able to change the inserted picture and keep it within the
same setup as I initially created, not just create a new picture setup. Any
suggestions?

If you initially inserted the picture as a link, instead of just pasting it
in, then you can display the field code (right click and choose Toggle Field
Codes) and type in the address of the new picture file. Then right click
again and choose Update Field.

If it was pasted in, or inserted without linking, then select the picture in
the document and either paste over it or use Insert > Picture > From File.

In either case you'll probably have to adjust the sizing. The way to avoid
that is to insert a table and click Table > AutoFit > Fixed Column Width,
then insert your pictures into the table's cells where they'll automatically
resize to fit the cell width.
