STEP 2

Go to Appearance > Widgets and Drag the widget to the Header Right section.

STEP 3

Add some CSS in child-theme/style.css to move it to the right of site header.

/* Header Right Widget
------------------------------------------------*/
.header-widget-area .widget {
    margin-bottom: 0 !important;
    display: inline-block;
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
}
.header-widget-area {
    float: right;
    padding: 0 0 0 0;
    margin: -10px 0 0 0;

    Thanks for the above, so simple. Works perfectly in Firefox and OE but not yet in Chrome, where it seems to prefer the centre

      You will need to make some changes to position this. There is one tutorial which provides multiple ways to add widget area in different place in the site header https://popwp.com/custom-widget-areas-in-site-header-navigation-bar-genesis/
