Quarto - unable to put captions above figure (docx format)

I need to get Quarto to put figure captions above the figure, rather than the default (below).

Following the documentation I used this:

---
title: "Test title"
format: docx
fig-cap-location: top
---

```{r}
#| label: fig-test
#| fig-cap: This caption should be above the figure
plot(cars)
'``

However, this renders like so:

enter image description here

I see that some people have resorted to LaTeX customisations or knit hooks, however I'm also failing at those (and I don't understand why the simple YAML marker I used, that is recommended in the documentation, isn't working).

Edit: as Mael pointed out, fig-cap-location is not an option for docx outputs. The Quarto documentation has since been amended to clarify this.

If you check the list of MS Word options, fig-cap-location is not actually one of them (compared to e.g., PDF options), so this option is just not available with a docx output.
