Hello fundogthrillionaire.
Any specific areas you cannot place it at? As we cannot seem to reproduce the issue on our end.

Yep. I found one in a shed. I tried placing it all around, nowhere would allow for it. I even tried on a flat street surface.

I'm finding the same to be true for lots of items: the construction light and the generator have both given me a lot of grief trying to deploy them. I similarly cannot place barrels very reliably either. It doesn't seem to matter which area of the map.
