Instantiation at wrong position

Unity Engine
1

Hi,

I am trying to instantiate a gameobject to a location on mouse click. The mouse click works fine, but the instantiation seems to pick a position other than what I thought would be the correct position. I will use images to help explain this.

So here in the first image, I click the 2 of diamonds card, and the slot highlights. I then click the slot to instantiate the position. The problem I have is, the new object is instantiated on top of the old object instead of the hit.transform.position. The parent seems to hold the new instantiation fine.

My Code:

You can view it in Image format here.

// If we have a counter,
        // Place the counter if the user clicked on the highlighted square
        if (Counter_Manager.Script.CounterOnMouse == true)
        {           
            if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0))
            {
                RaycastHit2D hit = Physics2D.Raycast(Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint(Input.mousePosition), Vector2.up);

                if (hit != null && hit.collider != null)
                {
                    // If the slot collider we click is in the same position as the one we cached
                    // Set the counter to the position of the card slot
                    if (hit.collider.transform.position.x == Board.Script.TempChosenCardLocation1.x &&
                        hit.collider.transform.position.y == Board.Script.TempChosenCardLocation1.y)
                    {
                        print(hit.collider.tag + " | " + hit.collider.transform);
                        if (Players.Script.PlayersTurn == TurnStates.Player_1_Turn)
                        {
                            // Instantiate Red
                            Instantiate(Counter_Manager.Script.RedCounter, hit.transform, hit.transform);
                        }
                        else
                        {
                            // Instantiate Blue
                        }
                    }
                }
                else
                {
                    print("Our collider is null");
                }

            }

I hope someone can help.
Thanks.

Solved:
Instead of:

if (Players.Script.PlayersTurn == TurnStates.Player_1_Turn)
                        {
                            // Instantiate Red
                            Instantiate(Counter_Manager.Script.RedCounter, hit.transform, hit.transform);
                        }

I used the following code:

if (Players.Script.PlayersTurn == TurnStates.Player_1_Turn)
                        {
                            // Instantiate Red
                            var RedCounter1 = Instantiate(Counter_Manager.Script.RedCounter);
                            RedCounter1.transform.position = hit.transform.position;
                        }
