Moving files from an upload folder to a specific folder based on dynamic metadata

Good day,
 
I have built a Canvas app that allows users to upload a file to an upload folder in a library. The upload screen has the users selecting the below fields from drop down menus (Controlled Data) which matches the columns created in the library.
 
 
I want to move the file from the upload folder to a folder that is already created based on the OverArchAgreement field (metadata). Note, I was not able to create a folder picker during the upload - that may be easier but I am not sure how to do that.
 
Question:
How do I tell the flow to match the file OverArchAgreement field and move (or copy) the file to the folder with the matching OverArchAgreement field?
 
Thank you,
