You don't say how you've attempted to make the change.
I suspect you have been using CSS to adjust the position of the div#search-box. Instead adjust the position of the action links that follow it in the HTML code.
This code worked for me:
.nabble div.action-link {
margin-top: -1.3em;
}
Volunteer Helper - but recommending that users move off the platform!
Once the admin for GregHelp now deleted.
