Description

Dropping a component into complex pages might present some challenges especially on complex pages with many children and nested elements.

We should find a way to make it more clear where the component will be dropped, to avoid the necessity of [moving the components](https://github.com/BeaconCMS/beacon_live_admin/issues/280) after they have been dropped.

Research direction

Start by reviewing issue #280 and reproducing component drops on complex pages with many children and nested elements. Investigate the existing component drop preview behavior and define a clearer indication of the insertion location; done means users can identify where the component will be placed without moving it afterward.
