Actor jumps when placed

hello, so im having an issue where when i place my chair actor into the scene, it jumps? so i can place it on the floor and as soon as i release the mouse button to place it it jumps up around 5 meters and moves of to the side.

here is the chair actor before i release: Screenshot by Lightshot

and here it is after: Screenshot by Lightshot

could this be an issue caused by how my code is executed through the constructor or is there another reason for this?

EDIT: sorry forgot to include code

	ChairMesh = PCIP.CreateDefaultSubobject<UStaticMeshComponent>(this, TEXT("Chair Mesh"));

	RootComponent = ChairMesh;

	Text = PCIP.CreateDefaultSubobject<UTextRenderComponent>(this, TEXT("Text Renderer"));

	const ConstructorHelpers::FObjectFinder<UStaticMesh> ChairMeshObj(TEXT("StaticMesh'/Game/Props/SM_Chair.SM_Chair'"));
	ChairMesh->SetStaticMesh(ChairMeshObj.Object);

	Text->AttachParent = ChairMesh;

	Text->Text = FString("");
	Text->TextRenderColor = FColor::Red;

	Text->RelativeLocation = FVector(-50, 300, 150);

Hey Fortunestudios-

From what I can see it seems as though the line Text->RelativeLocation = FVector(-50, 300, 150) is setting the location of the static mesh relative to where you release the mouse rather than setting the text relative to the static mesh (which I assume is what you’re trying to do). Does the behavior continue if you change the values inside FVector or if you comment out the line completely?

Cheers
