For the record, if you want the figures below the stave and want the "3" 
aligned with the "4", one trick is to swap the direction in which the 
figures are added vertically. Don't forget to also swap the order of the 
figures within each "chord":

\version "2.18.2"

bassFig = \figuremode {
\override BassFigureAlignment.stacking-dir = #UP
  <4 5>4 <3>
}

<<
\new Staff {
  \new Voice \relative c' { f2 }
}
\new FiguredBass \bassFig
>>
