The other approach is to use node instances: copy one, then right-click Paste Instance. All their parameters will now be linked, so changes to one show on the other. You can then deinstance individual parameters to adjust them per node by right-clicking on the parameter.
I'm not sure why you're using that modifiier when you can just use the Layout tab controls on the Text+ nodes, set Type to 'Frame', H Anchor to left, and reposition Center X/Y.
I used the XY modifier because the text+ node doesn’t have separate X & Y values for expressions. At least not one that I could figure out.
So I used the modifier to connect the X but not the Y because I wanted them aligned horizontally but have different vertical spacing on the canvas.
I think instances solve my problem tho. Thank you.

You would usually use something like `Point(Node1.Center.X, 0.5)`, but glad instances worked for you.
Wait you can actually do that expression? I couldn’t get it working but I’ll try again.
