Position of dot on dotted whole rests

I’m working on a piece in which I need to use dotted whole rests. No problem putting them in, but the rhythm dot which follows the rest seems to be a space too high, making it higher than the rest itself. I can’t find any way to adjust the position of the dot. Am I missing something?

I’m afraid you can’t adjust the rhythmic dot position in Dorico.

However, if you prefer the 2nd one:

you can enter a dotted half rest in a 3:6q tuplet, and set its position to 1 in the properties panel.
