ggplot2 vertical colorbar title right centered

I am trying to add a vertical centered title to my colorbar legend but it stacks the title on top of the colorbar instead of the the right.
I have tried adding position = "right" but it does not help, i have tried vjust, hjust it does not work either.

The plot it produces:

what I would like:

Code:

ggplot(df, aes(x=img_type, y=metric),show.legend = FALSE) +
  geom_point(aes(size = abs_corr, colour=corr))+scale_size(range =c(-0.1,20) )+
  scale_colour_gradient2(
    low = "#7e1952",
    high = "#2f7a9a",
    space = "Lab",
    na.value = "white",
    guide = "colourbar",
    aesthetics = "colour",
    mid = "white",
    limits=c(-1,1), name = "Spearman's Correlation Coefficient"
  )+ guides(size = "none")+
  theme(legend.key.height = unit(2.5, "cm"))+
  guides(fill = guide_colourbar(label.position = "right"))+
  theme(legend.title = element_text(size = 12, angle = 90) )

Data:

10  coent 0.0008 -0.4210 T2_FLAIR   0.4210

>Solution :

Here is a solution, inspired in this SO post.
Note that in the question you have fill = guide_colourbar(.) when it should be colour = guide_colourbar(.).

library(ggplot2)

ggplot(df, aes(x=img_type, y=metric),show.legend = FALSE) +
  geom_point(aes(size = abs_corr, colour=corr))+
  scale_size(range =c(-0.1,20) )+
  scale_colour_gradient2(
    low = "#7e1952",
    high = "#2f7a9a",
    space = "Lab",
    na.value = "white",
    guide = "colourbar",
    aesthetics = "colour",
    mid = "white",
    limits=c(-1,1), name = "Spearman's Correlation Coefficient"
  )+ 
  guides(
    size = "none",
    colour = guide_colourbar(title.position = "right")
  )+
  theme(legend.key.height = unit(2.5, "cm"),
        legend.title = element_text(size = 12, angle = 90),
        legend.title.align = 0.5,
        legend.direction = "vertical"
  )
