@s1pandey,
You can customize the position and size of the Plot Area and Legend as shown below:

var presentation = new Presentation("Stacked Bar Legend Issue.pptx");
var chart = presentation.Slides[0].Shapes.OfType<IChart>().First();

chart.Width = 900;
chart.Height = 390;

chart.PlotArea.X = 0f;
chart.PlotArea.Y = 0f;
chart.PlotArea.Width = 0.5f;
chart.PlotArea.Height = 0.8f;

chart.Legend.X = 0f;
chart.Legend.Y = 0.84f;
chart.Legend.Width = 1f;
chart.Legend.Height = 0.15f;

Please note that values of X and Width are specified as fractions of the chart width, and Y and Height are specified as fractions of the chart height.

@s1pandey,

The chart legend and plot area cannot be moved out of the chart area.
