Have you gone through Common Grbl Setups?

Then check out Coordinate and Job Origin.

This is also worth reviewing for the system listed in your profile. Configuring a 3018 CNC (or other CNC-based laser) for use with LightBurn

You need to figure out if your machine is “zero’d” - If you click the ‘Get Positions’ button in the ‘Move’ window, does it return numbers that make sense? If you move the laser head to the origin of the machine (front left for GRBL), the position reported should be 0x, 0y.

After that, check the ‘Start From’ setting, and review the way those modes work here:
