Spacing between slider and labels

Hello!
I'm attempting to reduce the distance between the slider scale and the labels since there is now a substantial amount of gap between the slider and the labels, which makes the link between the slider and the labels unclear to the responder. Is there anybody who has any suggestions?
I included the following code in the custom CSS, however, it removed the slider statement. Thanks.
.JFEScope .Skin .q-slider .statement-container { display: none; }
