Finding 4 closest points

Hi,
So I am trying to use bilinear interpolation to extrapolate data for certain values of a 3-dimensional array. But, the issue is that the bilinear interpolation requires an input of the 4 closest numbers by distance in order for the equations to be solved. Does anyone have an idea of how I can obtain these 4 values. I am going to put some context below for better understanding.
62 0 63 0
0 0 0 0
63 0 61 0
0 0 0 0
I am going to refer to the coortinates of the elements in the form of (row,column).
So for example, consider this array above. For context, I need a way to find the 4 closest non-zero points to (1,2). If I solved this manually, the points would be (1,1),(1,3),(3,1),(3,3).
This is only a small part of a very large array that I have given for context. If anyone can help me with the coding, it would be appreciated.

You can design something yourself, but you could also see if fillmissing solves your problem. The documentation suggests it should work for 3D arrays as well.
