In both GregTech: Modern and in KubeJS, recipes are/can be defined that require items to be placed in specific locations of the Crafting Table - shifting the recipes horizontally or vertically will not produce the same result.
Despite this, EMI centers the recipes before displaying them, misinforming the player.

GregTech: Modern

For an example from GregTech: Modern, we have the recipes for unpacking normal dust piles into small and tiny dust piles.
The recipes are defined in lines 245-293 of MaterialRecipeHandler.java:
https://github.com/GregTechCEu/GregTech-Modern/blob/3d6074670e3723c19736909e924b4719c6ffbf6f/src/main/java/com/gregtechceu/gtceu/data/recipe/generated/MaterialRecipeHandler.java#L245

EMI displays the recipe as requiring the normal dust in the very center of the table:

However, there are no such recipes:

Instead, the normal dust should be placed in one of the first two slots of the grid:

KubeJS

For an example from KubeJS, we have a custom recipe that converts some Cobblestone into Diamonds. The recipe is defined in
this server script

EMI displays the recipe as requiring the Cobblestone on the center line:

However, there is no such recipe:

Instead, the cobblestone must be placed in the top-left corner:
