Issue with Incorrect Positioning of Arabic Diacritic in InDesign (Correct in MS Word)

I'm encountering an issue with Arabic diacritics in Adobe InDesign. While working on Arabic text, I noticed that one of the diacritics (small maddah) is not positioned correctly in InDesign, though it appears perfectly in Microsoft Word. I've tried adjusting the font and settings, but the problem persists only in InDesign.

Has anyone faced a similar issue or knows how to resolve it? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you!

Are you using the ME version of InDesign?
