Funny, I was literally just revisiting this problem myself.
I originally posted about it here.

The problem is in 3D (section & elevation), the window reveal is offset from the opening line reference in the complex profile.
The 'Symbolic' floor plan display view of the window does not match this 3D position.
You need to switch the floor plan display of the window to 'Projected with overhead' so it matches the 3D.
Problem is this looks awful in plan - I want to see the window with the symbolic 2D view.
I am playing around at the moment adding an offset parameter in 2D, so I can match the 2D symbolic position with the 3D position.
It seems to be working so far, but I have my own custom windows so there is no problem in me editing the scripts.
You could try adjusting the position of the opening reference line in the complex profile.

Its in the Profile Manager.
You make it active with the checkbox, then adjust the lines within the profile on the right position.

One last question, how would you go about having a glass corner window on one of these walls, the tool doesnt seem to work on custom profiles.

That was actually Braza.
Sometimes however I am called Bazza.
I don't actually use the default GS windows as I have my own custom objects.
I know the GS winows have corner options, do these not work at all in the complex profile wall?
I am not talking about the corner window tool, just the corner options in the windows themselves.
Add two windows, set the corner options and then move them together to make the join.

Might not be completely perfect not showing casing but for what I need it does the job great thanks
Just playing with this a little more.
You can stagger the opening reference line to follow the contour of your wall.

This way the window position in 3D will follow this opening reference position.
It does depend on whether you have the window anchor set to head or sill too, as that is what will anchor to the opening reference line.
Still the 2D view of the window will only be accurate if you have it set to 'Projected' or 'Projected with Overhead'.
I still wish the 'Symbolic' floor plan view could offset from the reference line as well - that would be perfect.
