Hi,

Yes, look at the docs, you can add type="end" to the child:

            <child type="end">
              <object class="GtkMenuButton">
                <property name="tooltip-text" translatable="1">Main Menu</property>
                <property name="icon-name">open-menu-symbolic</property>
                <property name="primary">true</property>
              </object>
            </child>
