Answer 1

Try over writing the .popover class by using the co-ordinates of your choice

.popover {
top: 20px !important;/*put your position */

}

Just resetting the position elements will keep all other styles intact in the main bootstrap.css.

Answer 2

You need to get the mouse coordinates and make your script use them to position the popover on click. If you're using jQuery this might help:

$('#yourimage').click(function(){
      $('#popover').css('left', pageX-(popover width)+'px');
      $('#popover').css('top', pageY-(popover height)+'px');
})
