Is there any way of utilizing the wasted space when choosing not to include a chart label, all that appears to happen is the chart moves up a bit, but the chart is the same size, I would like to have the chart take up the space including were the Label is ?

Style to manipulate is most probably here.  
Have you tired customizing dashboard styles using the `ui_template` node?

Sounds like you may need to look at something that is more heavy duty, like Grafana.
