The problem is that the centre of the text model is offset from the centre of the base model, and Cura sets position by the centre of an object (on the X and Y axes), not a corner:
In order for it to line up when you import both and set their position to the centre, both X distances need to be the same and both Y distances distances need to be the same.
To make them line up, for each axis you need to subtract the smaller gap from the larger one, divide it by 2 and then move it that far in the appropriate direction.
i.e. for the X axis here (9.82 - 7) ÷ 2 = 1.4mm to the right.
and for Y axis (16.68 - 11.38) ÷ 2 = 2.65mm down (from this perspective)

I might have a solution, what I do in the software Blender is to press the . Button after selecting the model and choose ‘bounding box center’ from the pop-up panel. Then you go into object > origin > origin to geometry.
the issue is that to align the models, their respective origins must align between Cura and your CAD software. Cura used the bounding box center.
Hope you are able to proceed!
