Can you confirm how you are setting the position at the moment?

Normally you would set its global position like this;

object.global_position = Vector2(int, int)

or you might have a position2d somewhere and you would do this

object.global_position = $Position2d.global_position

i am setting it from the editor (my node is a platform that gets destroyed when you stand on it for too long )so it doesnt move

If it is not going to move I suggest putting a position2d where it is going to be and using the line of code I mentioned above to set its position. Thats the easiest way.
