If the price needs to move UP: Increase the ‘Label Top Adjust’
If the price needs to move DOWN: Decrement the ‘Label Top Adjust’
If the price needs to move LEFT: Increase the ‘Media Margin X’
If the price needs to move RIGHT: Decrease the ‘Media Margin X’
You will need to click Save after each adjustment.
