Aligning Social Media Icons to right of site title

I’m using Child Theme Twenty Twelve and and finding it impossible to align the Social Media Icons where I want them. I am using the Floating Social Media plugin and want to place the icons above the menu bar in line with my site header but aligned to the right. I can get the icons where I want them but it pushes the site header down. My thoughts on this are that the site title has 960px x 80px allocated to it so although my header image is only 238px x 80px it sits within the space allocated to the site title. I have two trains of thought on addressing this, both outside my current ability. 1. reduce the space allocated to the site-title or 2. define an additional site header – I already have h1 allocated to my site header. Sorry for the ramblings but I’m new to all this and theres probably a more simple solution.
