There is no known black hole that is anywhere near big enough to put an entire galaxy in orbit around it. You might be mixing this up with the first Webb photo showing distortion from other galaxies in the foreground (not a black hole)
(Sidenote: supermassive black holes don't hold galaxies together either. For example, Sagittarius A* makes up about 0.0004% of the Milky Way's mass)
