Data Label positioning for markers on Bar Line charts

I am using Crystal Reports 9. I have three values that I am charting, A, B, and C. Values A and B are risers (bars) and value C is a line. I am using dual axes.

For some reason the data labels for value C (the line) appear about an inch away from the marker and it doesn't look like there is a setting to move the label directly above the marker.

What I have noticed is that the data label for the line series is positioned on the chart in the same place as it would be if the series were a riser (in other words to the right).

My workaround was to manually drag the data labels but this presents a problem in that the data label will not be correctly positioned vertically with respect to the right grid value (if I run my report for one month a value might be 2.3% and for another month might be 4.5%. By manually dragging the data label it fixes the data label position on the chart. So the 4.5% data label can end up being too low on the chart).

Any assistance is appreciated!
