Free Form Drag and Drop not working correctly on a few objects

I am using Storyline 1.7. I have a slide where I want special ed teachers to be able to set up a classroom using objects like desk and chairs randomly scattered about. This all works fine. However, a few of the objects will try to snap to the right side of the screen when within a certain distance while other objects allow you to place the object near the edge without it snapping. These same objects work fine around the other edges. I have tried multiple settings on multiple objects, but nothing has seemed to help. This slide started as a PowerPoint slide. I have attached it if anyone would like to take a look.
Thank you!

Hi Greg,
the drop target 'board' should that the whole area room or just the 'blue board rectangle' at the top of the screen
I would uncheck "Snap dropped items to drop target" which would allow all drag items to move freely.
Wendy and Stephanie, thank you for your suggestions. The uncheck "Snap dropped items to drop target" didn't change anything. I was also testing the drag and drop "Drop Target" with different items because since this was a sandbox activity, it thought it did not matter which target, if any, was in there.
So, I got it working by adding an invisible rectangle that covers the entire slide and using that as the Drop Target. The weird snapping on the right hand side for a few objects has disappeared, and it is now working as I hoped.
Thanks again.
Thanks for sharing Greg, glad that you were able to get this working.
