Notice in lines 142-143 of your script, the x-axis ticklabels are places at the 
positions 1:7 = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7.  The labels are "5", "17", "23", "41", 
"53", "59", & "65".

Thus, Andy is correct. The position of the text objects you want to add need to 
correspond to the bin positions (xtick) not the labels (xticklabels).
