I tried for a simpler goal, just take that annotation and translate it to cover the entire output page, but even that did not work as can be seen in the output pdf. Something is getting in the way and adding its own coordinate translation but I cannot figure out what.
The annotation of the target PDF does cover the entire page. Click on the left border of the page in Adobe Reader and you'll see the rectangle. However...
I suspect you're unhappy with the blue rectangle. This could be because of the appearance stream which you took from the source unchanged:
