I tested this in Tiki 9 and saw the problem.
Then I found you could use negative offsetx= and offsety= values and, through trial and error, get the popup to display closer to where it should be.

But, then I tested in Tiki 8 and unfortunately there is a difference between the Tiki 8 and Tiki 9 Mouseover plugins, and you can not use negative offset values in Tiki 8.

The Mouseover offsetx and offsety in Tiki 8 go through

'filter' => 'digits'

which must strip the negative sign from the value.

The Mouseover offsetx and offsety in Tiki 9 go through

'filter' => 'int'

which must allow negative offsets.

The Mouseover code is not that different, maybe you could backup your Tiki 8 version and try using the Tiki 9 version. Or edit the Tiki 8 Mouseover plugin code and change the filter from "digits" to "int". (I tested both of those options and they both seemed to work OK.)

But it still isn't a very good solution.
