### Summary When having a custom widget with HUD controller, on Nintendo Switch specifically, the alignment of the interface in game does not match the widget, and its only happening on Switch (first one) meaning we can’t fix as it works on other platforms ### Please select what you are reporting on: Unreal Editor for Fortnite ### What Type of Bug are you experiencing? UI/Tools ### Steps to Reproduce Create two widgets: One will be drawn with verse on start, and the other will be placed with HUD controller again at start. Add an element to see how far the two are. Launch live edit on Nintendo Switch 1 Check offset Launch live edit on a non-Switch platform (pc or console) Check offset again ### Expected Result There is no offset between the two widgets on Nintendo Switch 1 ### Observed Result There is misalignment of the two widgets, with the HUD controller one being higher and to the right more (only on Switch 1). ### Platform(s) Nintendo Switch 1 ### Additional Notes Our test compared the Nintendo Switch 1, Xbox Series S, PS5 and PS4. ---

Did You properly set the dead zone on switch? How do You construct Your widgets? All seems fine on my end, with multiple widgets from verse/UMG on switch 1 ---
