I'm trying to interact with a web page and I can't use UI elements because the page doesn't let me access them in the PAD selector, so I'm trying to use move mouse functions to select elements with OCR. The elements I try to locate and mouse over are identified, but the mouse always moves to the wrong position, offset from the element by some odd amount to the same location, so mouse clicks fail to click the right place. I suspect this is because I have a non-standard display layout, with two ultrawide monitors side by side and a smaller screen underneath the two. Is there any way I can make the targeting more precise?

@sf3892au resolution could play a role in what you are experiencing. If one of the 2 monitors you are referring to are your default and you have built your processing using the default monitor and the offset seems to be the same each time - you can try opening the advanced blade in the 'move mouse to text on screen using OCR' action and modify the X and Y offsets to place the cursor where it is required. Alternatively, if you cannot select the elements on the web page for whatever reason - you may want to try the move mouse to image action as well. Keep in mind the resolution that you capture the image at should match the resolution when played back. Let me know if this helps or whether further assistance is required.
