Hi delboh, By design, an outside-staff object is not supposed to be placed inside the staff. That's the simple reason why setting Y-offset doesn't help---an outside-staff object just can't cross the border into the stave.
*Remedy:* An outside-staff object can be made "inside-staff" by setting outside-staff-priority = ##f. In this case, with \override TextScript.outside-staff-priority = ##f you may even set X-offset to any value inside the staff and the TextScript will be placed there as desired.
