Activating a Button Using a Location

I'm trying to activate a button on the map by using its position so it would be the equivalent of someone pressing it in-game. The current code I'm using looks fine, and I can't find more information from searching.

Code:

Location buttonLoc = new Location(player.getWorld(), -887, 73, 1347);
Button startButton = new Button(buttonLoc.getBlock().getData());
startButton.setPowered(true);

Running block.toString() returns air where the button should be, so it could be a problem with the location. If my head is where the button is, shouldn't the f3 coordinates be the same?

 

You have to set the data back to the block:
buttonLoc.getBlock().setData(startButton.getData());

 

I found the correct location of the button. It looks like the debug screen coordinates are +1 x of the actual coordinates of your head.

Unfortunately, using this code makes the button come off the block it's attached to and float in air as if it were attached to a block -1 x of the original block. I don't know whats going on.

Code:

Location buttonLoc = new Location(player.getWorld(), -888, 73, 1346);
Button startButton = new Button(buttonLoc.getBlock().getData());
startButton.setPowered(true);
buttonLoc.getBlock().setData(startButton.getData());
