I made a portal and it generated properly in the Nether, but when I returned to the overworld my portal was in a totally different location, and the one I had made was still there, but not linked up properly for my return. I looked under the new generated portal and there was not a ruined portal underneath it either, sometimes while returning from nether the portals will link up to existing ruined portals in the overworld and that is why I checked under the newly generated one.

Please see the linked ticket for a brief explanation of portal linking. If you believe your issue is different, please provide exact coordinates of all of the portals and how they seem to connect.

This issue is not working as intended in my world! It is not resolved at all for me either, before the last 3 beta updates all my portals linked perfectly now I go through my Nether portals I am in a totally random location from where I entered! Going into the Nether from a portal I built works fine it is when I return that a random portal generates where I never built it I want to return to where I entered! This issue as I stated is NOT working as intended!

Unless you provide the exact coordinates of the portals (where you step in, and where you exit) we cannot determine if you are having a different issue. As described, your issue seems to be the same as MCPE-39609. Be sure to read the note on that ticket if you have not already.

I step in at 523/71/-330 In the Nether I am at 79/83/-26, when I step back in to get to my base I am at 635/71/-193. Adding a note here This has never happened before to me. I have never had to break my portals and put them in any other positions at all until now it has always worked out that I am at my same portal I build at my base when I return from the nether.

When you enter your first portal at 523/71/-330 from the Overworld, the calculated equivalent coordinates in the Nether are 65/71/-41. The portal at 79/82/-26 is within the search area (nominally 128 blocks), so the game will take you to that portal, as you observed.
When you return, the calculated coordinates in the Overworld are 632/82/-208. This is outside the search area (again, nominally 128 blocks) and so the game creates a new portal in the Overworld.
What most players will do to control portal linking is to calculate the exact corresponding X/Z coordinates and rebuild the portal on the Nether side at those coordinates. In your case, you should be able to move the portal to 65/??/-41 and have it work as you desire.

I believe that is correct, I still wonder why this never happened to me before.
