Oh wait, I missed the fact that this is an inline graphic.

The place command doesn't return anything when you place an inline. So, your Fit command has nothing to work on.

That's why Magnus's method works. You have to get a reference to the frame from the insertion point, along these lines:

place ....
set myStory to parent story of insertion point
set myIndex to index of insertion point -- now immediately after graphic
set myFrame to page item 1 of character (myIndex -1) of myStory
fit myFrame given ...
