The magnified focus location appears at the position where the focus box was last located.

Change to AF mode and move the focus box where you want it then switch back to MF.

ahh, genius Phil, I thought that had fixed it, I used af, focused in middle of screen, used magnify and it was middle of screen, went back to MF and magnify and still in middle of screen. Power off, power on, magnify back to lower right again

Ah well, a partial fix, I'll just remember to leave the camera on ... hmm

Solved it, thanks for the hint Phil

I noticed its not just the magnify thats moving, the focus point moved when i powered up too

I'm using C2 settings (not M) and that gave me an idea

I went back to M , centered focus & power off/of, all was ok

I went back to C2, centered focus, stored the settings, tried again and

Thats been driving me nuts for 2 months or more
