Thanks for your answer.
It's in the schematic where the parts are not aligned in the grid.
Possibly due to mixed measurement systems. mm/inch conversions. How do i
fix this?

By convention the libraries are designed on a 0.1inch grid for the

schematic symbols. The pins end up on that 0.1" grid.

If you had your schematic set to anything other than 0.1" then you

would need to get the parts back onto the grid.

So I suspect the following will be your solution.

Set the grid of the schematic to 0.1"

Then select MOVE

HOLD down the CTL key and then click on the origins of the parts. They

should snap to the grid.

Then you need to repair the nets that are floating. Probably easier to

delete and replace them.
