Cannot change colour legend position for continuous variable

Locked question #1049 relates to the same issue, which still persists. Changing legend position is fiddly but works ok for factor variable:

require(ggplot2)
require(ggmap)
require(plotly)

m = c(left=60.5, bottom =29.3, right = 75.2, top = 38.5) |> 
  ggmap::get_stamenmap(maptype = 'toner', zoom = 6)

d = data.frame(x = rnorm(mean = 65, sd = 3, 50), 
               y = rnorm(mean = 34, sd = 2, 50))

p1 = ggmap(m) + 
  geom_point(data=d, aes(x, y, col = factor(round(x))), size=3) +
  labs(col = 'Eastness', x = NULL, y = NULL) +
  theme_void()

ggplotly(p1) |> layout(legend = list(xanchor  = "left", x = 0, yanchor = "bottom", y = 0.2))

But for a continuous variable this fails:

p2 = ggmap(m) + 
  geom_point(data=d, aes(x, y, col = x), size=3) +
  labs(col = 'Eastness', x = NULL, y = NULL) +
  theme_void()

ggplotly(p2) |> layout(legend = list(xanchor  = "left", x = 0, yanchor = "bottom", y = 0.2))

This seems to me this is a pretty basic and important thing to get right. I wonder if there's any chance to fix?

Empieza ejecutando los ejemplos reproducibles de R para p1 y p2 en el issue, comparando las leyendas de color de factor y continuas después de la llamada a layout. Sigue cómo ggplotly convierte cada leyenda y cómo se aplica el posicionamiento de layout. Se considera terminado cuando la leyenda de color continua se mueve a la posición solicitada sin romper el caso de factor.
