I am having the hardest time just moving one vertex. The transform gizmo is where the cursor is not the vertex I want to move. Please help me make it so the gizmo is at the selected point.
Thank you, J

Then change the center of your rotation to "3D Cursor" using the little figure eight-like icon near the magnet towards the top of your screen. (You can also reach "snap cursor" via Object > Snap > "Cursor to Selected" in Object Mode.) If that doesn't put the gizmo in the middle of all your selected vertices, then you can try Object > Set Origin > Origin to 3D Cursor in Object Mode.
Incidentally, it looks like you have a mass of vertices selected. Try zooming in really close to select just one vertex.
You might have a vertex off screen and selected. Try ALT+A to deselect everything then select a vertex to see if the gizmo goes where you want. If the yellow dot is still yellow after pressing ALT+A it's the origin not a vertex.
