Move MKUserTrackingBarButtonItem to the right on Navigation Bar

Question

is there a way to move MKUserTrackingBarButtonItem when it is attached to the navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem? Right now it looks like this:

my image

and I want it to look more like in the maps by Apple (edit: be closer to the edge):

enter image description here

Is there a way to do this? I've tried ImageInsets with no luck.

Edit: Here is the code in viewDidLoad

MKUserTrackingBarButtonItem *trackingButton = [[MKUserTrackingBarButtonItem alloc] initWithMapView:self.mapView.mapView];
trackingButton.imageInsets = UIEdgeInsetsMake( 0, -10, 0, 0 );

self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = trackingButton;

button1.imageEdgeInsets = UIEdgeInsetsMake(-4, 0, 0, 0);

The answer here: Can I change the position of navigationbar item?

Beware, you change insets of the button that to be assigned to the rightBarButtonItem, not the rightBarButtonItem itself.

There is no property imageEdgeInsets just imageInsets and I've already tried several things but the item didn't move.. – Markus Feb 26 '15 at 10:41

Try with this: [trackingButton setBackgroundVerticalPositionAdjustment:-10 forBarMetrics:UIBarMetricsDefault]; – Mohd Prophet Feb 26 '15 at 10:58
Tried and nothing changed, this particular button didn't move a bit. – Markus Feb 26 '15 at 11:05

All right, I found a working solution based on accepted answer to this question: How to Edit Empty Spaces of Left, Right UIBarButtonItem in UINavigationBar [iOS 7]

So in my code it looks like this

UIBarButtonItem *negativeSpacer = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc]
                                initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemFixedSpace
                                         target:nil action:nil];
negativeSpacer.width = -7.5;

MKUserTrackingBarButtonItem *trackingButton = [[MKUserTrackingBarButtonItem alloc] initWithMapView:self.mapView.mapView];

[self.navigationItem setRightBarButtonItems:[NSArray arrayWithObjects:negativeSpacer, trackingButton, nil] animated:NO];

Although it doesn't work as expected for iPhone 6 Plus, it's best solution for now. Thanks everyone for their help.
