WPF mousePos and icon.Margin align. Visual rep does not.

So I'm trying to make an icon visible in a map at the same position as the mouseclick, but it always appears somewhere in the bottom right quadrant. What am I not seeing? It is like there is a layer askewed to the map .Here's the xaml bit

        <Viewbox x:Name="ViewMap" MouseLeftButtonDown="Viewbox_MouseLeftButtonDown" Stretch="Uniform">
                    <!-- Your image display content -->
                    <Image x:Name="imageControl" MouseWheel="ImageControl_MouseWheel"   Loaded="ImageControl_Loaded" Stretch="Uniform">
                    </Image>
                </Viewbox>

        <Viewbox x:Name="ViewMap" MouseLeftButtonDown="Viewbox_MouseLeftButtonDown" Stretch="Uniform">
                    <!-- Your image display content -->
                    <Image x:Name="imageControl" MouseWheel="ImageControl_MouseWheel"   Loaded="ImageControl_Loaded" Stretch="Uniform">
                    </Image>
                </Viewbox>

There's only a grid and a page as ancestors. No attributes on the grid. And here are the C# code

C#
private void Viewbox_MouseLeftButtonDown(object sender, MouseButtonEventArgs e)
{
    // Get the cursor position relative to the mainGrid
    Point cursorPosition = e.GetPosition(imageControl);
    Debug.WriteLine($"{cursorPosition}");
    // Show the icon at the cursor position
    ShowIcon(calibrationIcon, cursorPosition);
}
private void ShowIcon(Image icon, Point position)
{
    icon.Margin = new Thickness(position.X - icon.ActualWidth / 2, position.Y - icon.ActualHeight / 2, 0, 0);
    Debug.WriteLine($"{icon.Margin}");
    // Show the icon
    icon.Visibility = Visibility.Visible;

}

C#
private void Viewbox_MouseLeftButtonDown(object sender, MouseButtonEventArgs e)
{
    // Get the cursor position relative to the mainGrid
    Point cursorPosition = e.GetPosition(imageControl);
    Debug.WriteLine($"{cursorPosition}");
    // Show the icon at the cursor position
    ShowIcon(calibrationIcon, cursorPosition);
}
private void ShowIcon(Image icon, Point position)
{
    icon.Margin = new Thickness(position.X - icon.ActualWidth / 2, position.Y - icon.ActualHeight / 2, 0, 0);
    Debug.WriteLine($"{icon.Margin}");
    // Show the icon
    icon.Visibility = Visibility.Visible;

}

Let me know if you need more for this to make sense. Thank you so much in advance.

Margin is the spacing between elements it is not the absolute position
