Overlapping labels in side-by-side chart

I am working with a side-by-side bar chart and facing a common issue of overlapping labels. I have looked through previous queries and none seem to work for me and I don't know why.

Below is the command I have and the results

ggplot(data=SEM_Breakdown_2,aes(x=DMA_Clean, y=AQH)) +
  geom_bar(aes(fill=SEM),
           stat="identity",position=position_dodge(width=1)) + 
 geom_text(aes(label=round(AQH,digit=0),ymax=AQH),
           position=position_dodge(width=1),vjust=-1,size=5)

Just want to show the labels at each columns so I can actually ready them.

Thanks

modified my code and below, while not perfect it works

 geom_text(aes(label=round(Unique..IPs,digit=0),ymax=Unique..IPs),position=position_dodge(width=1),vjust=-1,hjust=ifelse(SEM_Breakdown_2$SEM=="Yes",-0.4,1.4),size=4)

Add an additional parameter to the aes() call, x=offset, and make the value dependant on whether the bar is a "yes" bar or a "no" bar.

For instance, x = ifelse( test.if.yes.bar, 5, -5)
