This might be window manager related. Can you try again with the
‘user-position’ frame parameter non-nil? Like
(modify-frame-parameters nil '((left . 0) (user-position . t)))

You mean on a subsequent attempt the frame is flushed left or still at
position 20. What happens when you try something similar with the ‘top’
parameter?

Does that mean the offset of 20 pixels appears with scaling turned off
and on?

So the window manager probably constrains frame positioning. What
happens with a frame larger than the screen size?
And does ‘set-mouse-absolute-pixel-position’ work normally?
