I'm trying to make a simple layout where the labels are next to the buttons and close.
Here is the order I am adding them:

```
add(label_1, cons);

cons.gridx = 1;
add(textArea,cons);

cons.gridx = 0;
cons.gridy = 2;
add(button_1,cons);

cons.gridx= 0;
cons.gridy = 4;
add(button_2,cons);

cons.gridx=0;
cons.gridy=6;
add(button_3,cons);

cons.gridx = 1;
cons.gridy = 2;
add(label_2, cons);       

cons.gridy=4;
add(label_3,cons);

cons.gridy=6;
add(label_4,cons);

```

Which looks like this:

I just need the labels positioned closer to the buttons, but it seems the closest x value I can give them is 1, it seems relatively positioned - is there a way I could absolutely position them?
