When importing data (ex. excel file) and attaching data to a object you seem to be able to change many style choices, but only have the option for auto spacing. Is there a way to shrink the spacing so my data attached to each object is closer together?

EDIT: I tried manually spacing which works fine just moving each text box, but it resizes to the original spacing when you refresh the data.

EDIT 2: I tried modifying the shape data in the master in the Drawing Explorer. It shows the correct spacing i want in that, but when i apply it it doesnt change the shape spacing in the document.

I modified the Draw Explorer > Master > Data Graphic > Edit Master Shape

if you want changes for any shape going forward, need to change in the shapes stencil
if you want changes for any shape you already dropped on the page, need to change shape in doc stencil

Doc stencil changes wont affect shape stencil and vice versa

I.e once you drop a shape on the page, the connection to shape stencil is broken and doc stencil is created

Im confused. My issue is with the data spacing not spacing in a shape i made. Do you have a link or screenshot?
