Looks like in this case "box_pos" is not equal to 'right', so the ELSE value of 10 is being returned. I'd add a temporary label somewhere on the composition and check what's present in the "box_pos" field.

Note that the preview in the expression builder just operates on the first feature found in that layer, so may not reflect the values for the atlas page being shown.

Note according the screen shot: The text filed have got the same settings as the table but it's working. The expression of the text field and table x-position is:

"CASE WHEN "box_pos" = 'left' THEN 148
ELSE 10 END"
