Change GameCircle Popup position

The GameCircle popup when getting a new score or achievement covers a most important part of our game. If the player gets and Achievement in the middle of a fast game move, the GameCircle popup appears at the bottom of the screen - which is really annoying. Is there a way to change the position of the popup? Thanks for any hint!

Why is the default location at the bottom? Kinda strange.

Hi Jocob, Though the default location is bottom center, but it's changeable. https://developer.amazon.com/public/binaries/content/assets/javadoc/gamecircle-api/reference/com/amazon/ags/api/amazongames.html#setPopUpLocation%28com.amazon.ags.api.overlay.PopUpLocation%29

Hi, I was wondering where is the appropriate place to initiate that call for the latest version of the Game Circle SDK? The earliest place I was able to call it was in onServiceReady in the callback from initialize, but even if I do that the first popup (the welcome message) pops up on the bottom and all future popups show up on the top. Is there a way to get that first message to show up on top?
