I would need the files you used to try to reproduce this issue. I
wouldnt need the whole trajectory, 5-10 frames would suffice.

'rms first' will fit all atoms to the first frame. If you have solvent
this is not what you want - you'll want to specify the atoms you want
to use as a reference frame (typically your biggest solute molecule,
but could be just a region of the molecule).

You can do either. Personally I think a fit to the average structure
gives the best behavior.
