I really do not understand what you want to do but I can see that you have stuff mirrored. I will bet that it is the mirroring that is causing problems. Try and copy-paste objects instead of using mirror. You can use the snap to grid to place objects accurately instead of using mirror.

You can move pattern groups by unlocking them from grid/center. Hold the ctrl key down while highlighting all the patterns in the group, then when cursor turns to four arrow they will slid freely as a group.
