jquery append svg element, unable to append more than one element

Question

I am trying to use JQuery to append some svg elements. Code as shown below.

$("#save_edits").click(function() {

    var img = document.createElementNS('http://www.w3.org/2000/svg','image');
        img.setAttributeNS('http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink','href','./img/exclamation-mark.png');
        img.setAttributeNS(null,'x','-7');
        img.setAttributeNS(null,'y','-35');
        img.setAttributeNS(null,'height','15');
        img.setAttributeNS(null,'width','15');

    if(id==" Shipping"){
        $('svg>g').first().append(img);
        $('svg>g:eq(2)').append(img);
        $('svg>g:eq(3)').append(img);
        $('svg>g:eq(4)').append(img);
    }
});

However, only the last append works successfully $('svg>g:eq(4)').append(img);, and not all the previous. Does anyone know why previous ones were override and how to prevent it from occurring?

Answer: Ok, seems like I figured out eventually. Basically need to recreate the img element again for each append.

child = ["svg>g:eq(2)","svg>g:eq(3)","svg>g:eq(4)"]

if(id==" Shipping"){
    child.forEach(function(e){
        var img = document.createElementNS('http://www.w3.org/2000/svg','image');
            img.setAttributeNS('http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink','href','./img/exclamation-mark.png');
            img.setAttributeNS(null,'x','-7');
            img.setAttributeNS(null,'y','-35');
            img.setAttributeNS(null,'height','15');
            img.setAttributeNS(null,'width','15');

        $(e).append(img);
    })
