Separate text box from photo in Story Map Tour?

Hello! I'm working with a Story Map Tour to diagram the events and route in a police chase. My problem is, I have a good chunk of text to include with each event — so much so that it almost completely covers up each of the photo! Is there any way to bump the caption below the photo instead of it appearing over the photo?

This depend on your browser resolution. If you have huge resolution, it may continue to use the regular layout. Do you see that layout being used when you access that tour? Maybe you need to use even more text

Unfortunately there is so way to force the use of that layout.

Note that if your media is a video and you are using the Three-panel Layout, the layout will be:

Unfortunately there is so way to force the use of that layout on image.
