Set your G55 to X100 Y50 and save fixture
Move to the Point of Origin X0Y0 on your material. then Zero the xy axis(that will set the g54 to 0,0) the example just drills 1 hole then offsets the head and drills another hole in the same spot to prove the offsetting works correctly.
N3 T1 M6
G54
G00 X200. Y0. S4851 M3
N5 Z6.
N6 G81 X200. Y0. Z-10.866 F1000. R2.5
N7 G80
(Switch to G55 to offset to the 2nd head)
G55
N9 G81 X200. Y0. Z-10.866 F1000. R2.5
N7 G80
G54 ( go back to the original fixture offset)
G0 X0 Y0 (Go back to the original Point of origin)
M5 M9

NOW do not get confused by what you see in the toolpath as it does NOT exactly show what the machine is going to do. Just follow the machine tool as it does the job IT will be correct.
