[FTC]: Use Tetrix Encoders to Hold Positions?

Hello. I recently installed some encoders on our robot's arm in the hopes that I could press a button to allow the arm to go to a certain position regardless of the previous position the arm was at, essentially the same thing one would do with a servo. However, when I tried using Encoder Target Distances, it simply went in one direction for however many rotations instead of rotating back to the same position. Does anyone know of a way that I could accomplish this so the Tetrix motor acts like a servo and returns to a previously set position? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
