Try using the guide Insert image in a spreadsheet from App Script:

function insertImageOnSpreadsheet() {
  var SPREADSHEET_URL = 'INSERT_SPREADSHEET_URL_HERE';
  // Name of the specific sheet in the spreadsheet.
  var SHEET_NAME = 'INSERT_SHEET_NAME_HERE';

  var ss = SpreadsheetApp.openByUrl(SPREADSHEET_URL);
  var sheet = ss.getSheetByName(SHEET_NAME);

  var response = UrlFetchApp.fetch(
      'https://developers.google.com/adwords/scripts/images/reports.png');
  var binaryData = response.getContent();

  // Insert the image in cell A1.
  var blob = Utilities.newBlob(binaryData, 'image/png', 'MyImageName');
  sheet.insertImage(blob, 1, 1);
}

Just replace the necessary values. The part where you indicate which cell you insert the image is in:

sheet.insertImage(blob, 1, 1);
