How do I dimension an image with different aspect ratio

I am trying to scale this image to the correct dimension but the sketch could not be solved. What am I doing wrong?

Is it not possible for Onshape to change the image dimensions?

    Pretty sure you cannot change the aspect ratio of an image in a sketch. You'll have to edit the image outside of Onshape and bring it in.

    Another option is to use the "image" Featurescript (instead of a sketch image):

    The problem is the image itself. It has "marketing dimensions", not true dimensions on it. It's not even clear what the dimensions are pointing to.

    You'll have to pick either the height or the width, and dimension that side only. If you dimension both, it will be over-constrained.
