Nesting & Fabrication - Component optimization

Can someone help me with component optimization?

 

I select Upper Left for the corner position and Minimize Length for the Remnant Optimization and the Nesting Study puts the components at the front right position instead of the back left (see pic).  Sometimes the nesting study does this, sometimes it works fine.  I've played with settings but can't figure out what they are supposed to be to make this happen every time.

@dcolley_ptfnola first of all thank you for being one of our newest nesting & fabrication extension subscribers!
No need to post in multiple forums, for nesting we are monitoring the manufacture forum, not this general support forum.  So, like I said in Nesting Optimization - Autodesk Community - Fusion 360...

 

I recently noticed some nests that also looked strange like yours, as if there was a part missing from the nest.  It seems the components in the manufacturing model are hidden, probably because they are hidden in the source model.  Open up the sheet in the browser tree and check if there are components that are hidden - unhide them and that empty space should be filled up.

Ah, I did not look close enough at your view cube.  The word TOP on your view cube is deceptive.

If you use the Named View TOP, it will change the view to be x-axis to the right, y-axis up, and z-axis toward you.

This looks like I would expect.
