First you must apologize to Cubase and speak int low, soothing tones. Then look onthe toolbar directly below the menu bar on top. There are three rectangular, black, drop down menus. The one on the left allows you to have items like that clip snmap to a GRID, or let you put them anywhere with a MAGNETIC CURSOR, adn ther are some other settings. It seems you want them to fit a grid but your scale is too alrge. So the next box to the right has options for Measure, Beat, and Quantize. It looks like you may have it set at measure and so every clip goes to the front of a new measure. Try setting it to beat. But what beat you ask? That's the third box where you can select whole notes, quarter notes, eighths, etc.
