The Popup button has no controls of its own except opening and closing the popup window by double clicking the button.

Once the window is open in Design mode, you can size it, and drag it to any side of the Popup Button.

When you have objects in the widow, they are "anchored" to the upper left corner, which means when you size it from the top side of the window, the objects move with the sizing.

Sizing from the bottom does not move the objects in the window. You can drag controls from components, graphics, pictures, and so on into the popup window. You cannot place an entire component into a popup window.

There are no Control Pins for the Popup button.
