[gsap transform overwriting existing css rules]

Hey People

 

So, I'm trying to animate a bunch of elements from already centered positions.

 

My problem is, when animating something that includes a transform-tween (ex. xPercent: og just x:) the tween seems to overwrite the existing transforms in the css by creating the matrix used by gsap.

 

I'm certain there is a easy fix for this, I'm just not seeing it clearly....
