Dimensions Off center

We have just recently upgraded to SW2021 from SW2016. I am having issues when adding a tolerance and symbol to a dimension. See the attached drawing for a reference. If I add a tolerance or symbol separately there is no issue. It's only a problem when I add both. As you can see the the Dimension becomes off center along the dimension line. It also only happens when the symbol is placed following the dimension and not in front of it.
I have looked through the options and can't find anything to fix this. Maybe I am missing something so any help is appreciated.

They look fine to me. Do you want the dimension value to stay centered, and not move when you add other text or symbols?

Yes as you can see #4 dimension sits slightly lower on the dimension line than the others. This only happened after updating to SW2021.
It's not a big deal, just a slight annoyance and wanted to see if it could be fixed.

It's centering on the largest item. You might try putting the triangle flag on a second line or just add it separately.

Now I understand. I thought you meant it was off center side to side.

I would report as a bug. It's not just centered on the largest item (the flag) because view #3 would be off center and its not. View #4 should look like view #3.
Strangely enough, adding the symbol before the dimension text does not do this.
