Just looked up what [htb] did and will definitely try that when I'm back at
work tomorrow. Though not identical, I have two other emails out to the
group that would be along these lines were this to be the solution. Namely:
what's the best way to pass particular options to LaTeX from org-mode?

Is there any clean way to pass some option like this with a figure or table
or what have you?

I'll try this tomorrow and post back. Thanks for the help.
