I would do
 when drawing
draw actor type (whatever) at X:   Y:

insert x and y values, then test the scene and change the values until the actor is where you want it

Are you using a camera behavior to move the view around in the game?

I have an idea of it having something to do with the layers in my scene. But how do i fix it?

There's insufficient information to deduce a solution.

Perhaps you can show us a screenshot of your scene, with the actor positioned where you want him, and then a screenshot of the game, with the actor being misplaced as you describe.

try putting the "move pen to x:0 y: 0" before the draw.... sometimes when you are using the drawing block more than once it gets messed up, and you have to indicate the position of where to start drawing each time

This sort of worked but when i use the "when drawing" And do the things, there appears A LOT of actors they all spawn from the same places as shown in the attached pictures to another comment.. And when i move new just appears.. So close!

Can you show us the behaviors that are attached to the actor then? This is very odd.

I'm not sure exactly where you want him to be from that first screenshot you showed.
Have you made sure your drawing origin is set the way you want it?
Check your actor animation properties. If he's spawning in a block that has collision associated with it, he might be getting pushed off into a non collidable block?
