Sometimes there are pretty weird aligning behaviours in documents that contain or formerly contained (nested) clipping masks or some other nested constructions. I've seen that many times.

 

Can you perhaps share a sample Illustrator file with that issue (including some instructions about what to do to reproduce the problem)?

Thank you for your response, I closed the program and it helped but when I would add the polar grid shape again the problem would persist.
