Most components are already set out to a 50 grid, when you change the grid, the m will move the reference point to the nearest grid point. so leave your grid at 50 and this will not happen. However if you find this a real problem make a copy of the module and casll it something else, select the entire module, and move it so that one of the pads is centered on the blue cross. The system should then place that pad on a grid point.
