Rays FX / static position

Hello. I want the light rays effect to stay in the position it's in in the screenshot. I have some tracking data on that lamp. But as soon the camera moves, the light rays are changing their light direction. is there any way to fix this somehow..?

@jts_2009 I don't think you can do that with Vegas Rays or Newblue Rays (Vegas Rays doesn't show the light position on the preview for me, but Newblue does as in your pic, that's why I mention Newblue)

You'd need the light position to be fixed/tracked to that spot you've chosen, BCC+Rays uses Mocha Tracking to do this.
