[Q] Notifications Module: Tooltip Position

The Echo template seems to have its own variant of Bootstrap and normal BS data tags don't work. I have the notifications module positioned at position-0; the very top of the template. When the user mouses over either the Conversations or Notifications icon, they're presented with a tooltip. But it's cut off because it's positioned to the top. data-placement="bottom" doesn't work in repositioning the tooltip, so my only other option is to remove the tooltip from the template. Is there a data tag for tooltip positions? Or will I need to load Bootstrap into the template and redo the tooltip?
