Move x-axis labels below the axis after relocation

When I move my x-axis position using the command

ax.XAxisLocation = 'origin';

the labels of the x-axis move above the axis and tick marks, but I'd like them to remain below. I know there is probably a simple solution to this, but could someone enlighten me?

I think we are going to need to see more of your code to figure out what is happening.

It seems to work for me (I tried it in my desktop 2022b as well).

x = 0:0.01:4*pi; % create some fake data to plot
y1 = sin(x);
y2 = y1 + 0.2*x;

figure
ax = axes;
patch([x fliplr(x)], [y1 fliplr(y2)], [0.8 0.8 0.8], 'EdgeColor', 'none', 'FaceAlpha', 0.5)
grid on
ax.XAxisLocation = 'origin';

Sure, here is the part of the code I think is relevant to the issue...

AnkleData = table2array(readtable('NormativeData.xlsx','Sheet','Gait_Ankle_Sagittal','Range','A2:B102','ReadVariableNames',false));
AnkleAvg = (AnkleData(:,1))';
AnkleStDev = (AnkleData(:,2))';

%Plot the normative figure average with +/- 1 St.Dev
x=(0:1:100);
y1 = AnkleAvg+AnkleStDev;
y2 = AnkleAvg-AnkleStDev;

figure
patch([x fliplr(x)], [y1 fliplr(y2)], [0.8 0.8 0.8], 'EdgeColor', 'none','facealpha',0.5)
ax = gca;
set(gca, 'XAxisLocation', 'bottom')
ax.XAxisLocation = 'origin';
title('Ankle Flexion');
ylabel('Plantar (-) / Dorsi (+)');

Seems to work with my code approach

x = 0:0.01:4*pi; % create some fake data to plot since you didn't provide the data
y1 = sin(x);
y2 = y1 + 0.2*x;

figure
ax = axes;
patch([x fliplr(x)], [y1 fliplr(y2)], [0.8 0.8 0.8], 'EdgeColor', 'none', 'FaceAlpha', 0.5)
grid on
ax.XAxisLocation = 'origin';

or with yours

figure
patch([x fliplr(x)], [y1 fliplr(y2)], [0.8 0.8 0.8], 'EdgeColor', 'none','facealpha',0.5)
ax = gca;
set(gca, 'XAxisLocation', 'bottom')
ax.XAxisLocation = 'origin';
title('Ankle Flexion');
ylabel('Plantar (-) / Dorsi (+)');

Here is how it can be done, e.g.:

x = linspace(-pi, 3*pi);
y = sin(2*x);
plot(x, y), grid on
ax=gca;
set(gca, 'XAxisLocation', 'bottom')
ax.XAxisLocation='origin';
