Move OVRPlayerController programmatically translates a character to a wrong location

I'm trying to teleport a user that meets certain criteria to a specific location on my level. I'm using OVRPlayerController and have a container object for that controller. Whenever I move the container via container.transform.position, it moves the container but also randomly moves the OVRPlayerController inside of that container. How can I disable this behavior? The CameraRig from OpenVR works just fine with the same approach so it's only OVRPlayerController affected by this.

    I think I found a workaround. Just disable OVRPlayerController while updating the position, no need to do delays:

    ```
    public class MoveObjectBySpace : MonoBehaviour
    {
        // Start is called before the first frame update
        void Start()
        {
            
        }

        // Update is called once per frame
        void Update()
        {
            if(Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Space))
            {
                var player = GetComponentInChildren<OVRPlayerController>();
                player.enabled = false;
                transform.position = new Vector3(Random.Range(-5, 5), transform.position.y, Random.Range(-5, 5));
                player.enabled = true;
            }
        }
    }
    ```
