React tooltip, dont show beside the element

Question

It works fine with other buttons and elements I use on the page, but with the aside section that is on a fixed position. The tooltip shows up on the bottom. The next tooltip, for eksample for GitHub, shows up even further down.

I think it has something to do with the position in the CSS code, but I cannot figure it out. Is there anyone that has had the same issue and can help?

CSS:

aside {
  background-color: #16123f;
  position: fixed;
  top: 40%;
  padding: 10px 20px;
  border-top-right-radius: 20px;
  border-bottom-right-radius: 20px;
  filter: drop-shadow(0px 3px 6px #00000045);
}

Code from the React component:

<aside>
  <ul className="social">
    <li>
      <a data-tip data-for="ePost" href="mailto:[email protected]">
        <FontAwesomeIcon icon={faAt} className="fa-solid fa-at fa-lg" />
      </a>
      <ReactTooltip
        backgroundColor="#ed0b70"
        textColor="black"
        id="ePost"
        place="top"
        effect="solid"
      >
        Send meg en epost!
      </ReactTooltip>
    </li>

    // ...
  </ul>
</aside>

Here is how it looks, I want it right beside the aside.

I have managed to make it look like what you want with the following workaround (note overridePosition):

<aside>
  <ul className="social">
    <li>
      <a data-tip data-for="ePost" href="mailto:[email protected]">
        <FontAwesomeIcon icon={faAt} className="fa-solid fa-at fa-lg" />
      </a>
      <ReactTooltip
        backgroundColor="#ed0b70"
        textColor="black"
        id="ePost"
        place="top"
        effect="solid"
        overridePosition = {() => {return { left: 30, top: -40 };}}
      >
        Send meg en epost!
      </ReactTooltip>
    </li>

    // ...
  </ul>
</aside>

This is what it looks like now:

As for a proper fix, I do think this is a bug in the library. It may be a good idea to open an issue in its GitHub reposotory but unfortunately it's not reasonable to expect a fix anytime soon, considering that the library has more than 250 open issues already and the last commit was more than 3 months ago.
