Took me maybe 10 seconds. Not as hard as I expected it to be.
Usually I'm terrible at unorthodox chess puzzles.

Putting the rook on c6 blocks the a8 bishop.

I only see Rc6+ other rook moves and black cannot capture at h7 as the king will be in check. something im missing? OP says 10 possible moves

Moves that can be made, not moves that solve the puzzle. You're good.

Those leave the b7 rook pinned, preventing capture of the h7 bishop.
