Placing a window in a particular initial position on X11 (which is what
HGL on OSX uses) can only ever be best effort. The window manager is
free to ignore any initial placement hint that a window asks for. Some
window managers respect it others do not. There's nothing you can do
(except change or patch your window manager)
