I think that @riban ment you can use top side too to align buttons.

Look at how [zynthian mini](https://discourse.zynthian.org/t/zynthian-mini/9300/128) uses top, left and bottom sides. I am not suggesting to use the same layout. Zynthian Mini pcb and rpi position introduces a lot of limitations where buttons can be placed because the same PCB space is shared for buttons, midi and audio connectors etc.
