Moving Bootstrap modal on page

Question

I have a bootstrap modal on the screen. When the modal is showed, it is positioned on the center of the screen.

<div class="modal fade" id="ua_dialog">
<div class="modal-dialog">
    <div class="modal-content">
        <div class="modal-header">
        <div class="modal-body">
        ....
        </div>
      </div>

I need to move the modal on my screen, because cover some information from my screen. The user should be able to move on the right, on the left...etc. Can I do that? there is some settings that I can use? or with js? what is the best way? Thanks!

_“I need to move the modal on my screen, because cover some information from my screen.”_ - if you have information outside the modal that still needs to be accessible, that might rather suggest that a modal is the wrong thing to use here in the first place ... — CBroe, Dec 07 '17 at 11:09
It covers a map which needs to be visible. Can I make the modal to be movable? Or I need to position the modal to be for example on the right of the screen? — Orsi, Dec 07 '17 at 11:13
_“Can I make the modal to be movable?”_ - can you please start doing your own basic research …? https://stackoverflow.com/q/12591597/1427878 — CBroe, Dec 07 '17 at 11:15
