Change MenuFlyoutPresenter to align with button in UWP

I am trying to get the MenuFlyout to align bottom-left of the button. I can achieve this if i put the button at the left of the screen, but if the button is anywhere else the MenuFlyout is always centered right under the button. I suspect that I have to create a template and change a property in there but I do not know what I need to change to achieve this.

I've pasted my xaml below with a note of where i suspect I need to make the change. I am new to xaml, any help or guidance will be much appreciated. Thanks!

<Page
    x:Class="ButtonMenuFlyout.MainPage"

In your MenuFlyout_Opened method, you can explicitly call ShowAt(UIElement, Point) method. This first parameter will probably be your buttonMenuFlyout; the second one, your offset which might roughly be new Point(0, buttonMenuFlyout.ActualHeight).
