Drag and Drop target not working

Hello all.  I am building a freeform question that is PICK ONE, but it has drag n drop elements included. For the example shared, the correct answer is indicated by the hotspot targets (2 on the right). But I need the learner to be able to drop the red and black probes on the 2 on the left (incorrect). When I test, the probe is dropped in a strange location on the slide. Currently the correct targets work as expected.... it's the wrong targets that are killing me right now. I have tried manipulating the drop target (blue box), but to no avail. This is not my original project; I am adapting it from the original author. I have tried everything I can think of but I am stuck.

I appreciate any help the community can provide. 

FYI... this is 1 of 3 questions I am building.

    Your two blue “A target” rectangles are not referenced anywhere as drop targets, they’re just blue rectangles on the meter. So when you drop a probe on one, the snap routine has no valid target so dumps the probe in a default position instead of where you released it. You could copy your working target and use that again then just check the triggers point to the right place
