Live Chess Timer placement (mobile apps)

Could we have an option to make "my timer" have a better screen placement for live chess?

 

Problem for me is that my right thumb hovers over that exact part of the screen, especially when time is short and I need to make moves quickly. Which means I have a hard time getting the visual clue that timer is moving quickly when less than 20s left. I can see my opponents timer clearly always.

 

Normally, I'd just try to find a different way to hold my hand/thumb. But after trying, I don't think it's possible. I've tried left handed (which would solve the problem), but I much clumsier that way and prone to drop pieces in the wrong spot.

 

Proposal: default swap the positions of the username/piece counts with the timer positions. Optionally, allow this to be a preference on mobile, so that those who prefer the current positions (left-handed people?) can keep them.

Nothing has been changed since 2017. It is a pity
