Question on how to put an image/icon next to an Input field - Bootstrap

Hello!

I am a little bit stuck. Im trying to put an icon next to my search field with bootstrap like this: https://imgur.com/a/aY00v3w . I am having trouble making it look like that image and it keeps doing this: https://imgur.com/a/u9PCMVn . Any Suggestions? (I have included the code below)

Thanks, Damian.

  <nav class="navbar navbar-expand-lg navbar-light">
    <div class="input-group mb-3">
      <input type="text" class="form-control text2 push-left" placeholder="Recipient's username" aria-label="Recipient's username" aria-describedby="button-addon2">
    </div>
      <img src="/search/img/ocean_usr.jpg" class="ml-2" height="40" width="40" id="oceanIcn">
    </nav>

Hey Damian, hmm I'm not sure if this will work but what if you took the img tag and put it inside the div tag, rather then putting it outside the div tag.
