Getting a "move target out of bounds" exception when trying to click at a specific x and y coordinate

So some weird stuff, could just be im unfamiliar with a specific rule related to the MoveByOffset() method. So I have the x and y coordinates that I need to move the mouse too, I know they're the right coordinates because I can actually see it happen when my test reaches this line of code:

actions.MoveByOffset(842, 663).Click().Perform();

The problem arises when I interact with a separate element, I click a button to open a drawer to validate some information, Once my script validates what it needs to it closes the drawer and attempts to execute

actions.MoveByOffset(842, 663).Click().Perform(); once again.

I dont scroll or really change anything on the screen other than open a drawer and close it.

But Its at this point where ill get the exception OpenQA.Selenium.WebDriverException : move target out of bounds I have it currently in a try catch block and even when I catch the exception it still throws the same exception at me.

Any help or advice or info would be appreciated

MoveByOffset(x, y) means Move By Offset from your current position.
Performing MoveByOffset(xOff, yOff) you move pointer into (currentX+xOff; currentY+yOff).
So first time it is 0+842 and 0+663, second time it is 842+842 and 663+663.

If you need to go to element use moveToElement().
To be sure you don't reach bounds of viewport you can use something like driver.manage().window().getSize().
it is Java code, but I believe c# has such operators.
