How can I set the position of an icon in a tabLayout?

Question

Android

Icons are set on top of the text by default, how can I move the icon to the side?

tabLayout.getTabAt(0).setIcon(R.drawable.ic_content_paste_black_24dp);
tabLayout.getTabAt(1).setIcon(R.drawable.ic_content_paste_black_24dp);
tabLayout.getTabAt(2).setIcon(R.drawable.ic_content_paste_black_24dp);
