ETA: Of course, what Amazon does to the file afterward is beyond anyone’s control.
Your post wasn't clear as to when this worked. It's no problem to make a mobi open at the correct place; the issue arises when the file is uploaded at the KDP. Your ePUB3 worked there, in the post-conversion Preview? Is that right?
