NamePlates Stick to the edge of screen

Can you add by any chance a way to make the nameplates stick to the edge of screen even if the boss is big like Mythrax?

I found a way to clamp nameplates but when I switch targets it's gone.

I know ElvUI nameplate sticks the nameplates like this image (he targeted an add and the nameplate on Mythrax is still showing in the screen: https://imgur.com/a/NbUxqaN

In my screen if i get a bad angle the nameplate is gone (watch the big dummy in the left) : https://imgur.com/a/PV1AW1W

I would have to do some more research or actually install elvui to test this out, because it's hard to determine exactly why his nameplates are behaving like that on Mythrax from just videos and screenshots.

But as far as I am aware, the positioning and clamping of nameplates is handled entirely by blizzard, and the only way we can modify that is through CVars. And as far as I know there is no CVar that clamps nameplates other than the target to the screen.

But I will look into it.

Thx for the fast response. I've set my Cvars like this:

SetCVar("nameplateOtherBottomInset", 0.1);
SetCVar("nameplateOtherTopInset", 0.08);
SetCVar("nameplateLargeBottomInset", 0.1);
SetCVar("nameplateLargeTopInset", 0.08);

It's better than nothing but not like ElvUI. Thx!

After having played around with ElvUI, it doesn't seem like this is an actual feature. The closest replication of this I can come to is by playing around with the Inset CVars and having Stacking nameplates turned on.

So I'm just gonna rack this up to being an edge case of it staying on screen and close this.
