Description
Sometimes the hovertemplate will block the point because the hovertemplate is only positioned on the left or right side.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the behavior shown in the advanced hovertemplate example and the attached GIF. Trace how hovertemplate placement chooses the left or right side and identify where top and bottom placement would be handled. Done means the hovertemplate no longer blocks the point and can be positioned on all relevant sides.
