Move and offset updated symbol (component)

$

I had an old revision of the board, and I replace some Ethernet connectors with new ones.

Those are fixed, because they have fixed places on the panel I have, and I don't want to loose their position and orientation.

New Ethernet jacks are slightly longer, but I reuse older symbols, so origin is the same, grids are same. When I do update netlist with new ones, they stay exactly on the places of the old ones, but they need slight correction in y direction (for example, there can be also slight correction in x). Symbols are 90deg rotated to original position when created in library.

If I Move the component and use command line

x (new x coordinates, new y coordinates) it goes in quite different place, and show element after this show me different coordinate of one I write down

x (new x coordinates, new y coordinates) yields same thing

OK, now I try now Draftting Offset move - first time I move in y direction with 0.1 connector jumps quite a lot, then offset moves are exact, but this takes a lot of time and effort.

What am I doing wrong here? Thanks in advance!
