Description
In RTL languages (e.g. Arabic), the grade bar in the progress tab is badly positioned initially.

But after scrolling or resizing the window, popperjs auto positioning kicks in to make correction.

The goal of this issue is to solve the initial unexplained position shift to the left.
I think popperjs does a great job with positioning, so something might be wrong either with learning MFE or Paragon's code.

Research direction
Start with the progress tab's grade bar tooltip in the learning MFE and inspect how its Popper.js positioning is integrated with Paragon. Reproduce the issue in an RTL language on initial load, then compare the position after scrolling or resizing. Done means the tooltip is correctly positioned without requiring either action.
