dataLabel text align in highchart

I want to dynamically align the dataLabel in center of two bars.

The data which is visible dynamically appears either for green or the blue bar by using :

dataLabels: {
                enabled: true,
                formatter: function() {
                    return this.point.avg;
                }
            }

I dont want to use x and y attributes, as data can appear for any of the bar. Hope below mentioned image gives you a clear picture.

enter image description here

Note: The value of avg_fare does not represent the bar's value.

Can anyone help me to achieve this usecase?

Thanks

enable datalables only for one. and disable for all the remaining ones. position that single label as you want by seetting x and y Values

            dataLabels: {
                align:'left',
                enabled: true,                    
                x: 20,
                y: -10
            },

You can use the dataLabels.y parameter to offset the label into the position you desire.

      series: [{
            data: series1,
            dataLabels: {
                enabled: true,                    
                y: -14 // move this down
            }
        }, {
            data: series2,
            dataLabels: {
                enabled: true,                    
                y: 14 // move this one up
            }
        }]

Here's a fiddle.
