How can I move a colorbar down in a subplot?

I've been having trouble fitting a colorbar to describe the scheme I'm using for these subplots. After finally getting a custom colorbar, I can't figure out how to move it downwards so it occupies the space to the right of plot N. Can anyone offer a suggestion?

Thank you.

After adding the colorbar, change its position property. You can use the positions of the other axes to align the colorbar as needed.

Here's a demo (works with subplot or tiledlayout).

Also see this answer.

figure()
ax = gobjects(1,4);
ax(1) = subplot(2,2,1); title('Axis 1')
ax(2) = subplot(2,2,2); title('Axis 2')
ax(3) = subplot(2,2,3); title('Axis 3')

% add colorbar to axis 2
cb = colorbar(ax(2),'orientation','horizontal','Location','SouthOutside');

% Reposition the colorbar using the y-position of axis 3. 
cb.Position(2) = ax(3).Position(2); % ax(3) is on the bottom row

Thank you that worked great

Open property inspector, click and move the bar where you want it to be.

Either check the values for ColorBar position in the Property Inspector and include the manual position in your code, or go to File-> Generate Code... and see how MATLAB automatically incorporated this change.
