I think your problem is produced because you need repaint the Chart, before try to calculate the custom position the ExtraLegend Tool. You can do something similar as I do in next simple code, where I have drawn a ExtraLegend Tool align to original Legend:

Private Sub Form_Load()
  TChart1.AddSeries scBox
  TChart1.AddSeries scBox
  TChart1.Series(0).FillSampleValues 5
  TChart1.Series(1).FillSampleValues 5
  TChart1.Legend.LegendStyle = lsValues
  TChart1.Series(0).asBoxPlot.Box.Brush.Color = vbRed
  TChart1.Series(1).asBoxPlot.Box.Brush.Color = vbBlue
  TChart1.Tools.Add tcExtraLegend
  TChart1.Tools.Items(0).asExtraLegend.Series = TChart1.Series(1)
  'Use internal Repaint to calculate the position of Legend.
 TChart1.Environment.InternalRepaint
   With TChart1.Tools.Items(0).asExtraLegend.Legend
    .CustomPosition = True
    .Left = TChart1.Legend.Left
    .Top = TChart1.Legend.ShapeBounds.Bottom + 10
  End With
End Sub

Could you tell us if my suggestion code help you to solve your problem?

I hope will helps.

Thanks,
