If you press and hold an app icon, a menu results. If you continue holding and start to move the icon, the minus sign appears and you can rearrange. Just tested it with no issues on my iPad A16 running 27.
In a search of the MacTracker database, "342LL/A" returns only this iPad: iPad Pro 11-inch (2nd generation) (Wi-Fi + Cellular)
Apple's web site shows iPadOS is compatible with these models:
So we are sure of what you have, can you verify your model number (including letters at the beginning) from Settings > General > About:
and then TAP the model number to find its "A" number:

The fix: if you click on an app icon and hold it down then release before you get to “screen edit” you will see a row of boxes for the icon. Click on the four square then close and go back to the home screen. This will let you move things however you like.
