Since it seems I cannot move the default Boss1TargetFrame without running in to issues in combat, I've just decided to recreate the boss frames in XML with BossTargetFrameTemplate. XML is uncharted territory for me, so be gentle.

I have essentially gotten the frames to look how I want them to look, and function how I want them to function with the exception of their show state.

I can get them to hide when there's no bosses around, but I cannot get them to mirror the "normal" bossframes, especially when more than 1 boss gets pulled.

Here is my current code:

Basic XML

<Ui xmlns="http://www.blizzard.com/wow/ui/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.blizzard.com/wow/ui/
..\FrameXML\UI.xsd">
	<Script file="mBossframes.lua"/>
	<Button name="mBoss1TargetFrame" inherits="BossTargetFrameTemplate" id="1">
		<Anchors>
			<Anchor point="TOPRIGHT" x="-310" y="-510"/>
		</Anchors>
	</Button>
	<Button name="mBoss2TargetFrame" inherits="BossTargetFrameTemplate" id="2">
		<Anchors>
			<Anchor point="TOPLEFT" relativeTo="mBoss1TargetFrame" relativePoint="BOTTOMLEFT" x="0" y="-30"/>
		</Anchors>
	</Button>
	<Button name="mBoss3TargetFrame" inherits="BossTargetFrameTemplate" id="3">
		<Anchors>
			<Anchor point="TOPLEFT" relativeTo="mBoss2TargetFrame" relativePoint="BOTTOMLEFT" x="0" y="-30"/>
		</Anchors>
	</Button>
	<Button name="mBoss4TargetFrame" inherits="BossTargetFrameTemplate" id="4">
		<Anchors>
			<Anchor point="TOPLEFT" relativeTo="mBoss3TargetFrame" relativePoint="BOTTOMLEFT" x="0" y="-30"/>
		</Anchors>
	</Button>
	<Button name="mBoss5TargetFrame" inherits="BossTargetFrameTemplate" id="5">
		<Anchors>
			<Anchor point="TOPLEFT" relativeTo="mBoss4TargetFrame" relativePoint="BOTTOMLEFT" x="0" y="-30"/>
		</Anchors>
	</Button>
</Ui>

And Lua:

function IsBossFrameShown()
    for i = 1, MAX_BOSS_FRAMES do
    local b = _G["Boss"..i.."TargetFrame"]
        if b and b:IsShown() then
          return true
        end
    end
    return false
end
 
function UpdateView()
    for i = 1, MAX_BOSS_FRAMES do
        local t = _G["mBoss"..i.."TargetFrame"]
    if mBoss1TargetFrame:IsShown() and IsBossFrameShown() then
        return
    elseif not mBoss1TargetFrame:IsShown() and IsBossFrameShown() then
        mBoss1TargetFrame:Show()
    elseif (t) then
            t:Hide()
    end
    end
end
 
for i = 1, MAX_BOSS_FRAMES do
    local b = _G["Boss"..i.."TargetFrame"]
    b:HookScript("OnShow",function() UpdateView() end)
    b:HookScript("OnHide",function() UpdateView() end)
end
