I think it would be very nice to present on a projector with my laptop showing the notes! I appreciate any help and I love you if you find it by tomorrow!

espertus, I had exactly your problem. on exactly the same software you have. This is how I solved it:
get rid of everything that wasn't ubuntu-provided (including the Sun Presenter Console)
install the ubuntu-provided console with
sudo apt-get install libreoffice-presenter-consolereboot
Note that bullet 3. is essential. I don't know why, but if you don't reboot it will never work (just restarting LO won't work).
You can protect an object position (i.e. your reference object).
Right click on the reference object, select Pozition and Size…. Check Position option under "protect" (see the screenshot below); then do the alignment.
PS: It seems LibreOffice takes the relative center of the whole two objects, i.e. the centerline of a surface covering two objects, and then move all of them so that their centers sit on that centerline.

This should work more or less out of the box:
apt-get install libreoffice-presenter-consoleSlide Show/Slide Show Settingsand choose the correct presentation display from the list.You should now see a different screen on your laptop and the external display or beamer. The laptop version should also show any slide notes you have (click on the notes button at the bottom).
