Text Justification in Table Node

Hi all,
I am having trouble getting the text to land where I think I put it. I know I am doing something stupid.

I am using the dynamic ports example to start with. I need to associate port labels with the port geometry. I have the labels added and almost rendering where I want them.

Here is the code for the very left vertical panel:

$$(go.Panel, "Vertical",
          new go.Binding("itemArray", "leftArray"),
          { row: 1, column: 0, columnSpan: 1,
            itemTemplate:
              $$(go.Panel, "Spot",
                { _side: "left",  // internal property to make it easier to tell which side it's on
                  fromSpot: go.Spot.Left, toSpot: go.Spot.Left,
                  fromLinkable: true, toLinkable: true, cursor: "pointer",
                  contextMenu: portMenu
				  },
                new go.Binding("portId", "portId"),
				
				//this is hidden by the textblock but that is unimportant for now.
				//I just want to make sure I have the structure right first.
				$$(go.Shape, "Rectangle",
				 { 
					stroke: null, strokeWidth: 0,
					desiredSize: hPortSize,
					margin: new go.Margin(0,0) },
					new go.Binding("fill", "portColor")),
					  
			   $$(go.TextBlock, 
				{ background: "lightgreen", alignment: new go.Spot(1, 0.5)/*I have tried this and go.Spot.Right to no avail*/, font: "14px  Segoe UI,sans-serif", stroke: "black", editable:"true", isMultiline:"false"},
				new go.Binding("text", "portConn").makeTwoWay())
			) // end itemTemplate
		 }
        ),  // end Vertical Panel

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

On your left Vertical Panel, set { defaultAlignment: go.Spot.Right }

Or set { alignment: go.Spot.Right} on the itemTemplate Panel.

DOOH!
I could swear I tried both of those.
They both work. Thanks!
