STL files generally don't have location information in them. 3mf files do and so they are the preference for merging models. So the results here don't surprise me. Other than the fact that the merge is floating, the models seem to have found themselves in the XY spot-on. It just needs to be dropped back down to the build plate.
The box is 10mm tall and the text is 6.703mm tall. Doing a little math: (10 - 6.703) / 2 = 1.6485.

the community is not the best place to report this sort of issue.

Can't replicate myself. Imported both models, set co-ordinates for each to 0,0,0, selected both and merged, result is a combination that happily sits at 0,0,0:
Make sure in the Cura settings (Preferences > Configure Cura...) that Ensure models are kept apart is turned off. Also, for each model, select it, open the move tool and make sure Drop Down Model is turned on:
Just remember that a side effect (whether intended or not) from having a cutout of the text is that it'll print it on the bottom:
