pictureBox1.Location returns you a Point. Because Point is a value
type, if you made a change to X afterwards, that wouldn't change the
value of pictureBox1.Location anyway, because the value returned is
disassociated from the property.

Short answer: that's not how value types work. Use
Point p = pictureBox1.Location;
p.X = pnl.Size.Width - 50;
pictureBox1.Location = p;

(Or do it in one go as per Galcho's code.)
