Vertical slider with custom image along the side?

I'm hoping to make a custom slider with images as the different choices, but with an option in between each of the images (see attached draft). I've been looking at a few different help threads to try to make this work, but it seems like most of them are using gauges rather than slides, which makes the images shift as the person moves the slider. I would like the images to remain stagnant if possible.

Does anyone know how to (1) make the slider vertical with JS and (2) make the choices images? I've tried using this help thread for a vertical slider (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/15935837/how-to-display-a-range-input-slider-vertically/27108716#27108716) but it doesn't seem to be specific to Qualtrics.

Thanks so so so much!!
