This issue arises because the nested Box component in the editor is wrapped in a

 with a position: relative style. This wrapping 
 is automatically added by Elements to ensure the editor’s UI functions correctly.

While it’s possible to override this behavior and control the positioning, the process is quite advanced and requires modifications in the hooks.js file. Specifically, you would use the rw.setRootElement({}) method. Unfortunately, there’s currently a lack of detailed documentation and examples for this approach.

I’ll add this topic to our list of developer video tutorials that we plan on making in the near future!
