YouTube Thumbnails not changing!?

A couple of days ago I uploaded a video to youtube and it wont let me change the thumbnail- whether that be a different suggested thumbnail or a custom thumbnail (although i want to apply a custom thumbnail) . After searching for answers I saw that after trying multiple different techniques (deleting browser cache, editing enhancements, changing to a different suggested thumbnail etc) the only last option would be to reupload so I decided to just leave that video. however, the next two videos I uploaded have the same issue and i cant change the thumbnail. HELP.

    Changing the thumbnail on YouTube takes a while, I changed some of mine a few days ago and only one has changed. Try giving it a bit more time. It could take a week+, it happens to everyone :)

    Rename the file, upload it, then when it;s uploaded do it again on the same page, and upload it again
