How to synchronize an object with the point node in Xpresso

I used pose morph to create a sequence of opening and closing drawers. I want to attach a polygon plane to a point on the animated drawer using Xpresso so that it moves in and out with the drawer. I positioned the plane in the center of the drawer as desired, then used the “Enable Axis Tool” to move the center point of the plane to match up with the corner point of the drawer. The theory was that when I hooked everything together in Xpresso, the plane would retain the new center point and move accordingly. However, when I hooked it up, the plane popped back to the original center point, and so is hanging off the edge. Of course, once Xpresso is activated, everything is locked in place.

I would like the panels to move in sync with the drawers, and that seems to be the most direct way since the ease-in/ease-out interpolations are different for the two objects. Other ideas for the same thing would be welcome. The point node is working fine, it’s the center point that’s out of place.

Model attached.

Any suggestions?
