Backwall Vertical Offset Error

I am modeling my abutment backwall to have the same vertical offset as my backwall depth as pictured below: 

And the template cross-section shows up correctly: 

Though, when I place my abutment it appears different on the model as shown below: 

This is the case for the all the bridges I have modeled thus far. Is this a program error? If so, how can it be fixed?
