Can move component only up/down or left/right in Cadence Virtuoso

Hello, my issue is that when I click a component and press C to copy it to another location, or M to move it, I can only move it in one direction, up/down or left/right. I have been digging through menu settings but cannot see where I can change this. Help is appreciated.
