OK, So I have tried this a number of ways using your content and also Vectorworks Stock Content.

It looks to be a case of works as designed.

 

What we are seeing are expected outcomes.

So a couple of things...

I will make an enhancement request to enable stacking order within edit accessories, For now your options are...

Option 1 - Customise the 2d components to 'Clip Surface' the middle of the stand (Screenshot attached).

Option 2

1. duplicate the stand and remove the accessory record.

2. Insert the stand as a hybrid object, Make it a hanging position and insert the lighting device.
3. (Optional) Create a Schematic View of the HP

4. Select all objects and create a symbol with convert to group enabled.

 

You have now mad a light on a stand with a schematic view that you can click to insert into your document and simply replace lighting device for a different fixture.

Ok but why it doesn't happen with clamp ?

Your option 1 looks good 😉 My problem doesn't happen with clamp because they don't have 2d component ...

  

but your option 2, I did it in past without the hanging position so it didn't work and I wasn't able to edit fixture's  pan and tilt ... But your method is ok, and maybe quicker than mine, but I need as many symbol as stand I can use 😉
