Is there a way to set certain nodes as fixed positions in ELK Layered? I tried to add the layout algorithm to"fixed layout" in these nodes, but they still seem to be altered. In the root graph here are the options that I have set:

        "org.eclipse.elk.algorithm": "org.eclipse.elk.layered",
        "org.eclipse.elk.direction": "RIGHT",
        "org.eclipse.elk.edgeRouting": "ORTHOGONAL",
        "org.eclipse.elk.hierarchyHandling": "INCLUDE_CHILDREN",
        "org.eclipse.elk.layered.feedbackEdges": "true",
        "org.eclipse.elk.layered.layering.strategy": "BRANDES_KOEPF",
        "org.eclipse.elk.layered.mergeEdges": "true",
        "org.eclipse.elk.layered.mergeHierarchyEdges": "true",
        "org.eclipse.elk.layered.nodePlacement.strategy": "BRANDES_KOEPF",
        "org.eclipse.elk.layoutAncestors": "true",
        "org.eclipse.elk.randomSeed": "1.000000",
        "org.eclipse.elk.spacing.nodeNode": "15.000000"

Are there any other options that I should set in order for these nodes not be moved?

You could try the noLayout option:
https://www.eclipse.org/elk/reference/options/org-eclipse-elk-nolayout.html
Or simply omit those nodes from the layout graph given as input to the algorithm.

Note that it is currently not possible to fix the positions of certain nodes while still routing their connected edges.
