It's always nice to post a minimum working example (MWE) that
illustrates the problem so that we have something to work with.

That said, I use two staves, one for the melody and one for the
chords.  That way I don't have to worry about attaching chords to the
melody.

%%%
\version "2.22.1"

theMelody = \relative { c'1 }
theChords = \chordmode { c2 a:m }
\score {
  <<
    \new ChordNames \theChords
    \new Staff \theMelody
  >>
}
%%%
