After fighting it for many months now, I was finally forced to update my Firefox after my icons were resetting themselves (Never updated because I was used to the one I already had). Now the problem is that I want to move the tab icon and the indicator icon to the location where they used to be in the older Firefox that I had. I want to move the add new tab icon from behind the first tab to the end of the last tab and I want move the indicator from the second search bar to the far right of the menu bar (The very corner of the menu bar, on top of the Google search bar). I currently am not able to mover either of these to these location so I want to know if there is something like a add-on that allows me to do this. Thank you.

What happens if you drag that New Tab button to the right end of the Tab bar next to the list all tabs button and close the customize window?

Then it should snap to the default position next to the last tab like you want. There are two new tab buttons.
One directly next to the last tab and the toolbar new tab button that can be placed in other positions like you have now.

If that doesn't happen then see:

Open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout" and drag the button to the positions where you want them.

That is the problem, as I said in my original post, I am unable to put them in these spots. Look at the picture of where they are and where I want them.
