Okay, I see now. I attached a screenshot from the file you sent me. The
target is getting put in the first ring (with a dashed line) because its
hop distance isn't known. In this respect it's appearing just like it
would with no traceroute.

It's hard to know what to do in this case. Putting it at the next ring
out (with a dashed line) seems like a good idea in this case, even if we
don't know the true distance. But if there were another host in the
scan, even farther away, then its position at that distance could be
misleading. But maybe that's okay.

To answer your question, there's no way to get it to appear where you
want it currently. This will require a change to the source code.
