Points A and B are drifting

I think I have the same issue with the user 'proxohms', but it is not about the blurry images.
I set point 'A' and 'B' and started a shooting.
But after shooting, when I go to the point 'B' by clicking on the arrow beside the button 'B', then it moves and focuses on a point other than 'B' on the object.
Likewise, when I go to the point 'A' by clicking on the arrow beside the button 'A', it moves and focuses on a point other than 'A'.
Every time I set 'A' and 'B', and start a shooting, then points 'A' and 'B' are moved to different image points.
I had to calibrate points 'A' and 'B' every time I make a shooting, and it makes me spend a substantial amount of time.
I set the correction factor to 0.5 without testing and it gives me a great result.
I just want to use that number because I want to have enough number of images focused.
Do I need to do something else to prevent the points 'A' and 'B' from drifting every time I shoot?
Thanks!

Do the points drift if you press the large < / > buttons ("Move to A" / "Move to B") a number of times?
If yes, this is not a software issue on our part but the lens not being able to carry out movements with sufficient precision. Each lens exhibits this issue to a varying degree, and the same lens may exhibit it differently depending on how it's oriented (relative to gravity).

Yeah, the number of missing steps is not always the same and seems to depend on the direction.
