Have you tried creating an object style? Object styles can include attributes for position and size. Apply the object style to any text frame and it will pop into position. This has the added benefit of allowing global changes. If you want all titles moved you only need to adjust the object style once and all text frames will reposition, provided they all use the style.

Use paste in place, but note that this a spread-based setting.

this doesn't work on an opposite page

Adjusting the X axis does nothing it only aligns the copied element with what is already on that page it doesnt mirror it on the opposite page

I really can't follow most of what you're saying. But once again:

Copy element from left hand page.
Select right-hand page for destination.
Paste-in-Place.
With the element selected, subtract the page width (6 inches, 8.5 inches, whatever) from the element's X position.
If the margins are offset and mirrored, subtract the difference of the inner and outer margins—
- If the inner margins are one inch and the outer margins one half inch, subtract one more half inch from the element's X position.

The item should now be in exactly the same relative position on the RHP that it was on the source LHP. To move something from an right hand page to a left hand page, ADD the page width and margin correction.

If what you're copying is more than one element, temporarily group the elements for the copy process.

What of this process doesn't work for you?
