Adjust lock screen notification/widget position down

Is there a way to move the notification / widget section down to make use of the empty space if I don't use the lockscreen soft buttons? See attached screenshot for what I mean. I prefer the widgets on the lower portion and would like them to be in place of where the soft buttons usually are, but I haven't been able to figure out if it's possible. iOS 26.5.2/iPhone 17, if needed.
