I'm trying to position a Bootstrap popover for a trigger that sits on the far top-right corner of a 960px wide web page.

Ideally, I'd position it on the bottom and move the arrow with CSS (so the arrow is on the top-right of the popover). Unfortunately the 'placement':'bottom' positioning is not enough, since it will center it below the trigger.

I'm looking for solution that will place the popover statically below and on the left of the trigger.

This works. Tested.

.popover {
    top: 71px !important;
    left: 379px !important;
}
