I am trying to annotate a single entry in a table on a slide. My problem is that the word "tag" appears at a correct y location, but its x location is dead center of the slide. I tried xshift = ??? lots of values, but it simply wouldn't budge. I adapted the code for arrow from an answer by @Gonzalo Medina, but I have clearly made some fundamental errors in the integration, due to which I don't quite get what I want. To clarify again, I'd like more control on the word "tag", so that it positions nicely closer (in x axis) to the word "diverse", as that's what it's annotating. Additionally, I'd like it if I can enclose "tag" in a little tcolorbox. Thank you!
I want to add that I originally had a more minimal version of this code (with only the packages I need for this slide) that worked as desired; however, when integrated with the rest of my presentation (which has all the packages in the code below), I get this bug of wrong position. So it's some package interaction bug.

resizeboxwithrememeber picture. Very simple fix, just changing the positioning of}! Is there a difference betweentikzmarkandtikzmarknode? – lazulikid May 30 '20 at 19:36\tikzmark{<id>}only sets a coordinate mark.\tikzmarknode{<id>}{<content>}makes<content>a node (with all sorts of nice checks which mode you are in), so you have access to all the anchors of the node (as opposed to coordinate). – May 30 '20 at 19:39convertas shown at the end of this answer. For this animation I was usingdensity 300anddelay 144. – May 30 '20 at 19:49\node [minimum width=0pt] (B) at ([xshift=1.5cm,yshift=2cm]b) {tag};If you change the value ofxshift, you can move the node to the left or right. – Jun 01 '20 at 06:47
