If you are using chrome it can happen sometimes, because chrome always tries to click at the middle of the element. What you can do is use JavaScriptExecutor interface of selenium. The code should look like this

JavascriptExecutor js = (JavascriptExecutor) DriverManager.getWebDriver(); js.executeScript("arguments[0].click();", element);
