Wordpress/PHP: how to place meta tag at top of head

So, I have this PHP function that adds the X-UA-Compatible meta tag to the head of every page of my Wordpress site. (I'm new to Wordpress and PHP so forgive me about terminology). It's in the functions.php file of my StudioPress child theme.

The problem is the tag only works if it's placed very near the top, and the way I have it set up now causes the tag to appear halfway down, so it doesn't work. How can I force this tag to appear at the top of the head of each page?

Ex : You can use wp_head action. The wp_head action hook is triggered within the <head></head> section of the user's template by the wp_head() function. Although this is theme-dependent, it is one of the most essential theme hooks, so it is widely supported.

function aaa_custom_function() {
    ?>
       Your Tag
    <?php
}
add_action('wp_head', 'aaa_custom_function', 1000);

Use the third parameter to control the position. Change 1000 to another values to find the perfect position.

adding to @Damith answer wp_head action will work.

Refrence

also you can override header.php file into your child theme.

add this code in function.php

<?php function your_custom_function() {
       // your custom code which you want to add in header file
}
add_action('wp_head', 'your_custom_function', 1);

Create your custom hook like this way.

open header.php then write this below line where you want to show meta tag

<?php do_action("my_custom_metatags");?>

Now open your functions.php and write down this below code

function my_custom_metatags_fn()
{
//your tag goes here.
}
add_action("my_custom_metatags","my_custom_metatags_fn");

//Test this code it will work like a charm for you.
