Currently you don't have much control over this.  You could try
MinOverlapPlacement.  Another possibility would be to use
MinOverlapPercentPlacement and edit libs/defaults.h manually and
replace

  #define PLACEMENT_AVOID_ICON              10

with a small value

  #define PLACEMENT_AVOID_ICON              -0.05

I can't guarantee that this will help, though.

Bye
