Layer Shifts position when i apply freeform pro

Hello everybody,

I just started using freeform pro and i noticed that when i apply the effect to a layer, it shifts to the left. why is this happening and how can i stop this from happening. I am trying to apply this effect to several layers of a newspaper clipping and if layers kept shifting it will be very hard to manage.

Kindly help asap as i am short on time. Thanks.
