Muse places all notes to the left of this rest in the picture. How can I place the notes after the rest?

To add notes after a rest, you must first enter the rest; so choose a duration, then press '0' (zero). This will enter a rest at the cursor location, after which you can enter notes - i.e. durations and letter names A - G.
In your picture, you want a half rest, so select the first quarter note (E), then 6 + 0 will enter a half rest at that position.
(Rests are entered just like notes are entered. The only difference is that a rest does not have a pitch. Hence the number zero can be used to enter any rest - so long as its duration is specified. Notes, on the other hand, have duration and also a pitch - which is why different letter names are required in addition to durations.)
P.S. To fix, you can also select the first two beats of the measure (the notes already entered), then cut/paste them onto the half rest of beat #3.

My simple answer: place notes after a rest same way you place notes after other notes: enter the notes and rests you want in order, left to right. So if you want a D after a C, enter the C then the D. If you want the D after a rest, enter the rest then the D. Everything goes left to right. See the Handbook under "Note input" and'/or watch the tutorial videos to learn more about how to enter notes and rests/
Thanks very much for the responses!
