Hud Chatbox

So I started playing tf2 for the first time in months and decided to change my hud but the hud I have has the chatbox in the upper left. I tried google and it seemed I could just change the "ypos" in the hudlayout file but it doesn't seem to work. If anybody knows how to put it back in the bottom left, it would be much appreciated.

I'm trying to edit 7Hud but there isn't a scrollbar for the chat box. Is there a way to add one?
