Hummm...

I use Sonar X1. I render the tracks from BB in Real Band as audio and then I export them one at a time from RB to a folder on my desktop. It's actually a subfolder of a folder on the desk top but you catch the idea....

They are not given any special settings in real band.... I simply choose the tracks and let RB create them. TO my knowledge, they are not panned.

If I recall correctly however, Band in a Box does use default pan settings for it's tracks. I don't change that and simply open the BB project with RB and let it render as it will. I have not really noticed if the BB tracks are panned in RB.... but they don't seem to be, and quite often I do NOT use the first tracks created in RB..... I render all new ones for what I want and need.

Once they are in the folder, I simply close BB & RB and open X1 with a new project. I add audio tracks and proceed to use the IMPORT AUDIO one track at a time to X!'s tracks. They all come in centered.

I can then pan them from center to 100% hard L or R as the need dictates.... or anywhere in between.

I also tend to NOT work in stereo with the tracks unless that track comes in as stereo. Mono up the center is preferred.

If the track is stereo, be sure it has 2 unique waves in that track and they should both be approximately equal in size and strength. A stereo track should pan just as easily as a mono track.
