Since you already tried NoPPosition, the window must be a
transient window. Fvwm lets applications place their transient
window wherever they wish - which is sometimes not what the user
wants. You can try to put a geometry resource in your .Xdefaults
or .Xresources file. This may convince the application to use the
position you want, but maybe not. If this fails, all you can do
is program a trigger with FvwmEvent that catches the window when
it is created and moves it to a better position. If you need help
for this setup, just say so.
Some dasy in the future there will surely be an option to allow
normal placement of transient windows.
