Syncing Video Inside A Drop Zone
The issue seems to be caused by a bug that was introduced into FCPX. Before all that was needed to do was click on the video you wanted and wherever you clicked it would align with where the timeline position marker was set.
With the bug it seems that the video is based on the start of where the template begins. So if the template starts at 0:00 seconds and the drop zone appears at 5:00 seconds into it, wherever you click for your start frame on your video will be offset by 5:00 seconds.

Right now I have a little workaround until this bug is fixed. It requires tricking FCPX that the video is longer than what it really is.
Here is a short video showing how to accomplish this: http://quick.as/rwdsnnqg
