Instancer objects are positioned wrong

[veena_arun]

I am on MASH trying to bake instances to objects. When I do that, I seem to end up with instancer objects that are translated and positioned wrong. 

I have tried resetting my preferences and playing around with different tool settings. I am fairly new to Maya. Please help.

Why would you use mash to duplicate the boosters, this doesn't make any sense.

It would be just easier to ask "I need to model this, what's the best way?"
