Wall Element keeps moving with Wall Accessory Tool

I'm new to the Wall Accessory tool, and I must admit that documentation to show how to use the settings is pretty thin. My problem is that I can now create the framing to sit in the correct zone of my composite walls, but after few moments, the framing reverts a position on the outside edge of the composite. I suspect that this is a setting somewhere, but I can't find it. Screenshots attached.

Change/move the reference-line of the wall instead? (reference not at the edge of the wall?)

Thanks for this suggestion.........I'll look into that.

I tried that (moving the reference line of the wall) without much success. I experimented with each of the reference line options (face of wall, face of core, and center of core) and in no case was I able to get it sitting in the actual framing cavity. I wonder if anyone has ever used this tool; it's been the same issue for years, whenever I try to demonstrate it to users.
