Tikz picture, beamer, Putting text in a point in a way that the placement of other components doesn't change

Question

I have drawn a tikzpicture in a frame and everything was ok. But now I should add a text to it, and in every way I try to add the text, the placement of other components changes and ruins everything (I have blank space and want to place the text in there). I couldn't find any answer. How should i do that?

\documentclass{beamer}

\usepackage{tikz} 
\usepackage{smartdiagram}
\usesmartdiagramlibrary{additions}
\tikzset{module/.append style={top color=\col,bottom color=\col}}
\usepackage{adjustbox}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{tikzmark}
\usetikzlibrary{mindmap,trees}
\usepackage{verbatim}

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\begin{document}

        \begin{frame}{Title}
        \begin{adjustbox}{max totalsize={\textwidth}{\textheight},center}
        \begin{tikzpicture}[
              level 1 concept/.append style={text width=3cm,font=\sffamily\LARGE,level distance=6cm,sibling angle=110,
              every child/.style={concept color=orange}},
              level 2 concept/.append style={text width=3cm,font=\sffamily\LARGE,level distance=5cm,sibling angle=90,
              every child/.style={concept color=blue!80!black}}
              ]
          \path[mindmap,concept color=black,text=white]
            node[concept,scale=0.8] {\huge A}
            [clockwise from=-10]
            child[] {
              node[concept] {B}
              [clockwise from=45]
                  child[sibling angle=45] { node[concept] {D}}
                  child[sibling angle=45] { node[concept] {E } }
                  child[sibling angle=45] { node[concept] {F}}
                  child[sibling angle=45] { node[concept] {G} }
            } 
            child[] {
              node[concept] {C}
              [clockwise from=-45]
                child[]{ node[concept]{ H}}
                child[]{ node[concept]{ I}}
            };
        \end{tikzpicture}  
        \end{adjustbox}
        \end{frame}

\end{document}

Here is my code and its output is as follow:

I want to add text and get something like follow without relocating other components.

Questions seeking debugging help (“why isn't this code working?”) must include the desired behavior, a specific problem or error and the shortest code necessary to reproduce it in the question itself.

@user137927 Can make your code fragment compilable by including all the required packages and libraries? — samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz, Jan 30 '19 at 10:39

With the remember picture, overlay options you can prevent certain parts of a tikzpiture to influence the total size and this the positioning on the page. In addition I would not scale elements that contain text, instead a simple solution is to use the small mindmap style:

\documentclass{beamer}

\usepackage{adjustbox}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{mindmap,overlay-beamer-styles}

\begin{document}

   \begin{frame}{Title}
        \begin{tikzpicture}[
            small mindmap,
              level 1 concept/.append style={
                sibling angle=110,
                every child/.style={concept color=orange}
              },
              level 2 concept/.append style={
                sibling angle=90,
                every child/.style={concept color=blue!80!black}
              }
              ]
          \path[concept color=black,text=white]
            node[concept,scale=0.8] {A}
            [clockwise from=-10]
            child[visible on=<2->] {
              node[concept] {B}
              [clockwise from=45]
                  child[sibling angle=45,visible on=<3->] { node[concept] {D}}
                  child[sibling angle=45,visible on=<3->] { node[concept] {E } }
                  child[sibling angle=45,visible on=<3->] { node[concept] {F}}
                  child[sibling angle=45,visible on=<3->] { node[concept] {G} }
            } 
            child[visible on=<2->] {
              node[concept] {C}
              [clockwise from=-45]
                child[visible on=<4->]{ node[concept]{ H}}
                child[visible on=<4->]{ node[concept]{ I}}
            };
            \begin{scope}[remember picture, overlay]
           \node at (-3,2) {some text};  
           \end{scope}          
        \end{tikzpicture}  
        \end{frame}

\end{document}

thanks a lot. about scaling, can you please guide me how to do it? — user137927, Jan 30 '19 at 10:50
