Hi Christopher,
Thank you for writing. I hope you are doing well.
Unfortunately, the position of the next/previous links cannot be changed via the plugin settings. With that being said, we’d love to help point you in the right direction.
I’d recommend starting off by taking a look at our Themer’s Guide, which can show you which templates can be edited and copied in order to attempt the results that you are looking for.
The file where the navigation links are located in /wp-content/plugins/the-events-calendar/src/views/single-event.php
Please have in mind that this is a custom development task and so is outside of our stated scope of support. If you feel that this is something that you’re not comfortable working with, you may instead wish to consider working with a suitably skilled developer or designer who can offer the additional level of support you require.
Thank you very much,
Juan.
