Model ship unplaceable?

[mcchuggernaut]

I have gotten pretty good at house decorating. I have mastered console commands, item placement, and even got around the nonsense of flying items on entering a load area by finding a mod that lets you lock things in place once you have placed them. There is one stubborn item though, that refuses to be placed: The model ship from the thieves guild Larceny Targets sidequests. It won't stay upright when placed normally even with every trick I know because of it's round bottom. It will not lock in place with the Skyrim decorator assistant mod's lock function, (for some completely unknown, bizarre reason) because every time you exit and re-enter a load cell you have placed it in, it drops a foot or so on the z axis until it eventually disappears through the floor. I have spent literally tens of hours worth of time trying to get it to place properly, and it simply WILL NOT obey. Is there anyone out there who has tamed this last unruly item? Is there a way to lock it in place using the Creation Kit? Am I doomed to be defeated by a demonic wooden ship model??? HALP!!!!
