The inability to paste an object into a folder using only the mouse is a 
problem only in list mode, and then only when the list display is larger 
than the active window. In icon mode there is always enough space 
between objects to summon a file actions context menu with a right click.

One work-around, if you absolutely must use a mouse action to perform a 
paste operation into a full list-mode window, is to right click on the 
tab of the target window in the Nautilus top bar then click on "open in 
new window". That will open the target folder in icon mode (if you 
haven't changed with the defaults) and you can right-click on any empty 
space to access the file actions context menu and complete the paste 
operation from there. Close the new window when done.
