I can't find how to fix this... articulation issue

I can’t seem to find an option for adjusting this placement of articulations in the 2nd voice of a condensed staff.

The 2nd horn has its first note with articulations correctly placed beneath, but the 2nd note has the articulations placed above.

Is there a setting, or an adjustment, I can make to fix this? I’d like the articulations to be beneath for both of the 2nd horn notes.

Can you select the articulations in Engrave mode and flip them?

No, it doesn’t let me select articulations in Engrave mode. At least, not with this file.

AAHHHHH!!!
EDIT:
I couldn’t flip them from the bottom zone (there was no option to do so), but just pressing “F” worked!!

I feel so stupid now for not thinking of that first.

I’m used to using the ‘bottom zone’ for such things, and I wouldn’t have thought to press ‘F’ either. You’re not stupid, clearly this little thing could be fixed in future update.

In case it helps anyone else finding this thread, here’s the relevant page in the manual (which should be the top result when searching “articulation placement”) – because articulations are essentially “part” of notes, you need to select the corresponding noteheads to access articulation properties.

You can also select the articulations directly in Engrave mode and use the standard “flip placement” key command of F, but you won’t see any properties with only the articulation selected. (I grant that this is somewhat nuanced!)
