I was not able to get the flexible space to work in my situation but here is the code I used to be able to position the rightBarButtonItem: Note, I put a border around the UIView so you can see what it looks like with having the image in there.

UIView *containerView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(89,40,100,30)];
containerView.layer.borderColor = [[UIColor redColor] CGColor];
containerView.layer.borderWidth = 1.0;
UIImage *image = [UIImage imageNamed:@"nav-icon.png"];
UIButton *navigationButton = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
[navigationButton setFrame:CGRectMake(67,0,25,25)];
[navigationButton setImage:image forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[containerView addSubview:navigationButton];

UIBarButtonItem *navigationBarButtonItem = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:containerView];

self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = navigationBarButtonItem;

You can add an UIBarButtonSystemItemFlexibleSpace item between your two buttons.

UIBarButtonItem *item = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemFlexibleSpace
                                                                      target:nil
                                                                      action:nil];
