You should always mention version numbers.
I looked at sxpm in the xpm package version 3.4j.
sxpm.c reads the geometry argument, but doesn't set x/y coordinates.
The problem with geometry is in sxpm, not fvwm.
It might not be hard to fix sxpm.
If you mention the version of fvwm you are using, it might be possible
to make fvwm move the window to the location you want after its
created.
