Research direction
Start by reproducing the marginal dodge plot in the linked Observable example, then locate the dodge layout and the existing frameAnchor and anchor handling. Done means a right-anchored frame with anchor set to left places the marginal distribution outside the frame, without regressing other dodge layouts.
