I'm playing a sim I started in 2023, recently began playing again and put her in military career track. She's currently a Warrant Officer and none of the medals will place into the display case that came with the career track.
I started her in Oasis Springs and have not moved her.
HelloAquashamrocktrg There is an issue with dragging items since the last patch, so that may be the cause of your issue

I can drag the medals onto nearby surfaces or floor, but not into the display case.
That bug has been around before the last update. I've struggled with it myself. Two of my Sims have completed the military career after moving from StrangerVille to Del Sol Valley with no issue whatsoever; they could use the medal cases and put their medals in. No problem. Then, when they moved to Brindleton Bay, the problem popped up out of nowhere. I can set up the cases, I can drag the medals from the household inventory to the floor or surfaces, but whenever my Sims try to pick them up, the game goes "this item doesn't belong to them". I have long stopped bothering with this but now that I've found this thread, I might try the solution posted by Knariah below and use the cheats. For the record, I think the handling of those medals is set up in a rather stupid way to begin with. They have to be in the Sim's inventory so they can be placed in those cases but you cannot drag them from the household inventory to the cases.
Thank goodness this seems to be fixed, now. Plates can be dragged to the garbage, same with dog piles, and medal and element displays can be utilized.
