Setting text alignment with visio stencil

Question

I'm in the proccess of creating an automated visio diagram script in powershell, adding elements with text like so.

    $GROUP = $CPage.Drop($Stencil_AgentList, $x, $Y)
    $GROUP.Text = $MatchedGroup.Name
    $GROUP.AutoConnect($QUEUE, 0, $Stencil_Connector)

most of the functionality in terms of layout works at the moment, but i'm having serious troubles with the aspects that actually make diagrams look good.

I think this image explains it best: when you 'Edit Text' on an object, it appears to be aligned to the object in some way, either below or on top of it.

what I would like is to be able to align text, from the object itself, to the right side like below, where 'Example user name' is the ideal output.

I'm assuming this involves shapesheets etc. which I have almost no experience with.

Any help or resources on modifying these stencils so the 'text' area is where I want it to be would be much appreciated.

You should check out this page : https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa200988(v=office.10).aspx The Text Block of a shape is by default, the same size as the enclosing rectangle of the shape. However, you can modify its size, position, rotation and the horizontal and vertical text alignment
