Hello, I am trying to add the second column of delta into the chart with overlay bars study. As soon as I add the second column the overlay bars do not stay in the center of the column one numbers. How to make the overlay bars stay where they are and add another second column as well?

see the first and second picture. As soon as I added the text to the second column the overlay bars moved to the right side.

What you are seeing is correct. The Overlay of the Candlestick is going to put the candlestick in the center of the bar area. When you have a single Numbers Bars column with the Bid x Ask text, it falls directly in the center of the two numbers. But when you have a second column, it is going to be at the beginning of that second column as you are seeing.

One solution is to move the position of the text. Refer to the following:
Numbers Bars: Single Value Text Alignment

Another solution is to use the built-in markers in the Numbers Bars study. Refer to the following:
Numbers Bars: Open and Close Marker Style

The first option did not work out either, in the second option, I know you can put the candle around the columns and values display inside. is there anything I can try ?

The first option will allow you to view the numbers. The overlay will still be partially on top of the second column, but if you align the text to either the middle or right, then you can view the values for that second column.

Other than what we have given, there is no other option.
