Hard to say exactly with the screenshot so fuzzy, but it appears you have
selected the first partition INSIDE the extended/logical partition area.
You can't move it to the left without first resizing the logical partition
(presumably back to right after the exd of the only primatry position).
Then you should be able to move the first partition in the extended space.
