I am trying to set the .top property of a shape. This is my code. In the line Sh.Top t, I get an invalid use of property with the .top highlighted. Can someone tell me what is wrong it please?

VBA Code:
Sub Move_Shape()
    Dim Total As Range, ws As Worksheet, Sh As Shape, NewShape As Shape, x As Long, t As Long
    Dim TTop As Long, TLeft As Long, txtMainExists As Boolean, lRow As Long
    Set ws = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("ACA_Quoting")
    
    x = Cells(Rows.Count, "H").End(xlUp).Row
    t = Cells(x, "h").Top
 '   Select Case lRow
  '      Case Is = 68
   '         x = 560.5
    '    Case Is = 68
     '       x = 627
      '  Case Else
       '     x = 650
    'End Select
 '   If lRow = 68 Then
  '      x = 560.5
   '     Else: x = 645.5
    'End If
    
    For Each Sh In ws.Shapes
        Debug.Print Sh.Type
        Select Case Sh.Name
        Case "cmdAddRatio", "cmdCustomSign", "cmdGsign", "cmdAsign", "cmdNoSign", "cmdSaveToPdf"
            Sh.Top t
        Case "txtMain"                                'name your first textbox, the one you want to move,  to something unique. I used "txtMain"
            txtMainExists = True
            TTop = Sh.Top                             'record position
            TLeft = Sh.Left
            Sh.Top t
            Sh.Copy                                   'make a copy
            ws.Paste
            Set NewShape = ws.Shapes(ws.Shapes.Count)    'pasted textbox is the last shape
            With NewShape
                .Top = TTop                           'move the copy to the previous position of txtMain
                .Left = TLeft
                .OLEFormat.Object.Object.Text = .Name & "    (a copy of txtMain)"
            End With
        End Select
    Next Sh
    If Not txtMainExists Then
        MsgBox "txtMain is missing!", vbCritical
    End If
End Sub

I just found it, I needed to have an = sign in between the sh.top and t
