As an alternative, you could use \tweak to set the fingering text;
it's inserted between the note and the fingering:

\relative c' {
  \set fingeringOrientations = #'(left)
  <e-1 b'>
  <b-2 dis-\tweak #'text #(markup #:concat (#:rotate -5 "—" "1"))-1 b'>
  <c-\tweak #'text #(markup #:concat (#:rotate 5 "—" "2"))-2
   e-\tweak #'text #(markup #:concat (#:rotate 5 "—" "1"))-1 g>
}

Regards,
Neil
