Highcharts - how to position values closer to the Y axis - highcharts

Question

Please see code. The values on the Y axis appear too far from the Y axis. I tried to get them closer but then the whole graph got distorted. I would appreciate any ideas on how to achieve this. Thanks in advance

Lables should be added in xAxis as
labels: {
enabled: true,
formatter: function () {
return categories[this.value];
}
},
define categories as
var categories= ['1350', '1400', '1450', '1500', '1550', '1699', '1750'];
Working fiddle
finally js
$(function () {
var categories= ['1350', '1400', '1450', '1500', '1550', '1699', '1750'];
Highcharts.chart('grafica1', {
chart: {
type: 'area',
},
title: {
text: ' '
},
xAxis: {
labels: {
enabled: true,
formatter: function () {
return categories[this.value];
}
},
tickmarkPlacement: 'on',
title: {
enabled: false
}
},
yAxis: {
title: {
text: 'Percent'
}
},
tooltip: {
pointFormat: '<span style="color:{series.color}">{series.name}</span>: <b>{point.percentage:.1f}%</b> ({point.y:,.0f} millions)<br/>',
split: true
},
plotOptions: {
area: {
stacking: 'percent',
lineColor: '#ffffff',
lineWidth: 1,
marker: {
lineWidth: 1,
lineColor: '#ffffff',
}
}
},
series: [{
