Let's get this out of the way first: I've only actively been using Figma since about November, so I realize I'm probably asking an absolute noob question here. I've been futzing with this issue for most of a day, and I absolutely cannot figure out if I'm just overlooking something or if this is a bug. It's probably me; I acknowledge that. This is also a question that AI loves to answer incorrectly, because it doesn't understand what I'm actually asking.
In short, I've created a component that includes another component. That embedded component is just a set of 14 variations, each with a different picture of a room in a house. My component works great and scales exactly as I expect it to. And if I use an instance of that component with the default image, it also works correctly. However, if I set the "embedded" component to any image other than the default one, the instant I scale the component, the embedded component displaces to a lower position inside the main component. I absolutely cannot figure out what I'm doing wrong.
I realize it's pretty hard to follow all this in text, so I've included a diagram that I hope will help.
I'm begging. Make fun of me. Call me a goober. Laugh behind my back and publish memes about how clueless I am. But also... help? Please?
