Moving Hidden Controls on the Front Panel

I have hidden several controls on the front panel of my project.  I now want to simply move them so that when they appear, they show up in the correct place.  To access these hidden controls I navigate to the terminal of the hidden control in the block diagram and double click.  This takes me to the outline of the hidden control on the front panel.  If I try to simple drag this outline to a different place, the outline goes away and the hidden control is in the same spot.  I thought I could get around this by hitting unhiding the control, moving it, and then hiding it again.  However, when I right click on the outline of the hidden control on the Front Panel, there is no Show Control option only hide control.  See picture below:

Can anyone advise me on how to unhide these controls?

You are clicking a property node(or similar). You need to click the actual terminal. To find it, right-click the node and do a find...terminal.

 

(If the control is inside a cluster, you need a few more steps)
