One way is to add manual g-gode in fusion, needs a little PP editing

In this example, it moves to X20 Y20 before the tool change to T6

You could also setup a G28 return location and add G28 to the M6 macro. Unless you're wanting to be able to set location based on your design, then what Uwe suggests.
