DNN 7 module moves every other module up - module

Question

I'm running a local install of DNN in a development capacity. I have a "testimonials" module that I want to use. The problem I get is that when I drag into a pane it causes all modules above it to "shift" up to a point where they go behind a content slider I have. Tried various CSS methods to fix it but I can't seem to find the bug. Has anyone else experienced the issue before??
Also tried contacting the owner but his last activity was in 2012.
thanks

One thing you might try is switching to the LAYOUT mode on the page and see if that allows you to position the modules on the page.
Layout mode "hides" the content itself, so you can work with the module/containers to move things around, where in Edit/View mode that can sometimes be more difficult to do.
You might ultimately need to modify the Content Slider module if it is positioning things wrong in HTML, that or customize your SKIN so that the slider is in a different Pane than all other modules.
