actually i found a way:
.lay-carousel-wrap{
display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
}
.laycarousel-bullets{
order: -1;
padding-bottom: 10px;
padding-top: 0;
}
Enter this css in "lay options" -> "custom css & html" -> "custom css for desktop"
Make sure to use the setting that puts captions and numbers below the carousel.
This CSS will then only put the dots above, while the rest stays below.
