have you tried the 'inbetween' or 'distance' parameter from \setupcombinations?
Well what I would like would be for the following to work
\setupcombinations[before={\hfill},inbetween={\hfill},after={\hfill}]
but it doesn't do what I would like for it to do.
before and after go on the top and the bottom of the combination block, inbetween goes between the figure/table and the caption.
