If I understand you correctly, you're using Carbonite's "minimap button bag" to move the buttons off the minimap and put them elsewhere in your UI. By default, as I recall, Carbonite puts this "bag", displayed vertically, one icon per row, on the right hand side of the screen, up against the edge. If it's moved to the left, then you probably moved it. You should be able to click on the title bar at the top and move it where you want it, and then right click on the title bar and lock it. That's all from memory though, as I don't use this "bag" — I turn off all the minimap buttons for mods and use LDB brokers and Chocolate Bar instead.
