Android FloatingActionButton locates in wrong position

Question

I am using the code below as the item layout in RecyclerView, the FloatingActionButton should be located in the bottom-end corner, but it appears on the top-start sometimes, I want to figure it out why this happening...

Remove

 app:layout_anchor="@id/card_background_container"
 app:layout_anchorGravity="bottom|end|right"

intead add

android:layout_gravity="bottom|end"

Sample:

<android.support.design.widget.FloatingActionButton
            android:id="@+id/start_record_button"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_margin="@dimen/fab_margin"
            android:clickable="true"
            android:layout_gravity="bottom|end"
