Making actors stay on top of each other (overlay)

I have a scrolling world and I want an Actor to stay on top of another when it's moving. 
    @Override
    public void setLocation(int x,int y)
    {
        super.setLocation(x,y);
        text.setLocation(x,y);
    }
In this case I want the text to stay on top of my object, implementing it this way is very "jiggly", the text location doesn't update fast enough I guess, so it doesn't look smooth at all, any recommendations for making it seem more flawless and smooth?

Please provide method code where these actors are initially added into the world.

This is the constructor of my world 
    public Background()
    {    

        super(1000, 600, 1,false); 
        scroller = new Scroller(this);
        rbt = new RBTree(this);
        addObject(rbt,0,0);
        ib=new InsertButton(70,25);
        addObject(ib,900,500);
        addObject(ib.getTextBox(),750,500);
        addObject(ib.getText(),750,500);
        rb1=new NodeRB(1502);
        addObject(rb1,100,100);//Here I Add the base Object
        addObject(rb1.getText(),100,100);//Here I add the Component Object on top of the base Object
        

    }

Adding looks okay. Do you have an act method in your NodeRB class (if not, a class it extends)? Show, if so.

I realized my mistake. Since i was updating the locations of all objects in my WorldScrolling method I didn't have to update my text location in my NodeRB also, since it was already added in the world over it. Thank you for your feedback though !
