Can I have a choice to place the header icon of a visual. Currently, I'm unable to do so.
Also, there seems to be a bug. I have added a text on a stacked bar chart visual on the top right corner and when I hover on this visual to use drill down function, it does not allow me to do so since the text is overlapping the header icons which are positioned inside the visual automatically.

Seconded.
There is no control over position of header icons currently, and this limits report design in a pretty disappointing way.
For example, I design a report in PBI Desktop and header icons appear inside each visual. I then publish, and PBI Service decides to place the icons outside each visual, even though they get hidden by the other adjacent visuals. I can do nothing about this. To add to the issue, header icons do not seem to respect the setting 'maintain layer order' = off) meaning there is not even a way to bring overlapping header icons to the 'front'.
As a result I am forced to waste space in all of my Power BI reports as leaving c. 30-40 pixels gap around all visuals is apparently the only way to ensure the header icon UI will work reliably for users. I cannot believe Microsoft would intend for this limitation. The idea to control header icon position would solve these issues.
