Candle Overlay on Numbers Bar

I created a numbers bar chart with the candle overlay, and the candle does not align between the first two columns (See pic). Is there a way to get the candle in between the first 2 cols? I have done this before without the profile on the right and was able to get the candle in between col 1&2.

Actually, what you are seeing is a properly aligned candle between the columns. The columns are just drawn a little differently from each other due to one showing numbers and the other showing a profile. The profile, in particular, is fully left-justified in the column, whereas the numbers are centered in their column.

So this is the tutorial that I followed and you can see from the Candle placement it is correct, in between Col1 and Col2.

That is because, in the image you provided and in the video, there is only a single column. So the bar is correctly placed in between the numbers. In the situation you reference in your original image, you have numbers to the left and a profile to the right. Therefore, your bar is correctly centered in between those two situations, per the information we gave originally.

There is nothing wrong. If you change your second column to only display numbers that are centered (if you only display a single value) then you will see the candle looks correct in that case. With the profile, it just appears off due to where the profile is drawn versus how the numbers are drawn.
