Likert Matrix - Statements on the Right

Hello,
I am wondering if there is a way of reconfiguring the Likert Matrix question, such that each row statement appears on the right side of the page rather than the left.
To give some more specifics: currently I have a question that looks something like this:

However, I do not know how to make the values of money ($0, $0.10, $0.20, etc.) appear on the right, rather than the left.
I tried using a Bipolar Matrix, but Qualtrics squeezed the headings into a very narrow space, such that it made the headings very difficult to read:

Thanks,
David

I don't think there's a "real" way to do this (via the admin UI) but this CSS might work for you. I haven't tested it in the real world so grain of salt, etc. Would almost certainly need media queries involved so that the mobile views aren't broken.
Still, hopefully it'll get you started. You can see it in action here: https://codepen.io/willthemoor/full/JjGQjXE
table.ChoiceStructure {
  max-width: 95%;
}
table.ChoiceStructure,
table.ChoiceStructure thead,
table.ChoiceStructure tbody {
  display: block;
  width: 500px;
  overflow: hidden;
}
table.ChoiceStructure tr {
  display: block;
  float: right;
  width: 100%;
}
table.ChoiceStructure th, table.ChoiceStructure td {
  display: block;
  float: right;
  width: 25%;
}
table.ChoiceStructure tbody th {
  text-align: left;
  font-weight: 300;
}
