Found the way to fix the issue. When adding matter body to the sprite, I had to set display origin to half of the sprite width/height. Then it was propery aligned with the body:

> ```
> this.sprite
> .setExistingBody(compoundBody)
> .setScale(1)
> .setPosition(x, y)
> .setDisplayOrigin(16, 16);
> 
> ```

Checked in latest stable (3.50.0) version.
