The Spotlight window is a floating system window that Keyboard Maestro doesn't see.

Use AppleScript:

tell application "System Events"
   tell application process "Spotlight"
      tell window "Spotlight"
         set {position, size} to {{380, 172}, {680, 430}}
      end tell
   end tell
end tell
