Minimap Anchor Problem (child widgets can't center)

So I’m working on a Minimap widget, but something very strange is happening to the player icons. The pseudo-code is pretty simple:

  1. Make a box (Canvas Widget in the upper right, size of 300 x 275).
  2. Fill it with player icons (every soldier on the map gets a triangle, triangle widgets are added as children to the Minimap box).
  3. Triangles are moved and rotated according to the pawns in the scene.

Now all of this works perfectly, EXCEPT for one thing: for some reason I can’t get the player icons to use the correct center of the minimap as an anchor. They always end up getting pushed to the upper left

Something I noticed though… the player icons WOULD be right if the Minimap was only 100x30 (which is the default canvas size). I’m not sure what’s going on there, but that sounds related to the problem.
