Triggers next to the labels are a PatternFly recommendation: "
Place triggers for user-activated help text (icons, links, or buttons) next to field labels and not input fields.
Here is the part of the draft that talks about help: https://www.patternfly.org/wikis/patterns/pattern-development/draft-patterns/forms/#copy-help

Please let me know when you’re done with the tooltips, so I can review the console and make design adjustments :)
