Its been couple of days since i have not found the solution for this. As there is an option for mat-menu that is overlaptrigger property but there is no property to perform
{{locale}}
Utilize disableOptionCentering and panelClass like I have above. Then within your styles.scss reference your panelClass and do
.myPanelClass{
margin-top: 30px !important;
}
This worked for me. Note that the scss must be in your styles.scss not your component's scss file. You might not need to use important here, I have other classes around this so I did use it.
