This is controlled by the toward-stem-shift and
toward-stem-shift-in-column properties. Try

\version "2.22.2"

{
  \time 2/4
  \improvisationOn \repeat unfold 2 { a'4^\staccato}
  \repeat unfold 2 { a'4^\upbow}
  \repeat unfold 2 { a'4\upbow^\staccato}
  \override Script.toward-stem-shift = 1.0
  \override Script.toward-stem-shift-in-column = 1.0
  \repeat unfold 2 { a'4\upbow^\staccato}
}
