It is docked to the ISS, so you're not going to see it as a standalone
object. One would expect that spacecraft docked to the ISS are shown to be
in the exact same orbit, but depending on where you get your elsets or your
predictions from, they quite frequently appear to be a bit in front or
behind. Happens all the time, just disregard it.
