The reason this happens is that TextScript grobs are outside-staff
objects.  You can change this, and get the result you want like so:

 \once \override TextScript.outside-staff-priority = ##f

\once \override TextScript.Y-offset = #-2


Note that Y-offset is reckoned from the middle line of the staff,   A value
of 0 would have your arrow directly atop this line.


Hope this helps,

David


P.S.  A less satisfactory solution would be to override extra-offset.  But
then any layout changes could require adjustment.
