How to rotate ylabel but still auto-resize plot axes?

I would like to orientate my ylabel horizontally as shown in the image, however the axes dont auto-resize when I do this causing the ylabel to overlap the ticklabels. How can I set the axes to auto-resize, and if I cant whats the best alternative?

I have been setting my figure size using the following code:

x0=1;
y0=1;
width=W;
height=W;
set(gcf,'units','inches')
set(gcf,'InnerPosition',[x0,y0,width,height])

And the ylabel orientation using:

ylabel('TEST [-]','FontSize',fo_axis,'rotation',0)

Many thanks, Joe

ylabel('TEST [-]','FontSize',fo_axis,'rotation',0,'HorizontalAlignment','right')

Starting in MATLAB R2023a when you change the Rotation property of axis labels in a 2-D plot, the HorizontalAlignment and VerticalAlignment properties of the label automatically change to prevent overlap between the label and the axes.

ylabel('Really long axis label','FontSize',15,'rotation',0)
