Memories are a little gift from Apple, and there's a limit to what you can do to change them. This should help:
Personalize your memories in Photos on Mac - Apple Support
I don't really do the Memories, but I just played with it, and it looks like you have to actually play the memory to get the (•••) menu that has Manage Photos:
Then you can navigate through your pictures
and it shows the ones that have been picked among all the rest. You can use the search field to hunt for the picture you want.
I'm not sure this is what the Apple articles says, though…
Does this work for you?

Thanks for your info. I have MacOS 27.0.1 and photos vs 12.0 and I don't seem to have the ... menu that leads to manage photos. I do have the grid and it shows me the photos I have in the memory and I can delete one, but the top right bar only shows me this. Customize lets me change the duration and transition, but that's all. I'm wondering if they took this option out in the newest version of photos..
