jetpack_widget_top_posts_after_post

Te standard method of adding data after each item in the Top posts list no longer works correctly with Jetpack 10.8. The dates are now listed together above the list of posts. Te standard method as described on https://developer.jetpack.com/hooks/jetpack_widget_top_posts_after_post/ worked until this version.

As the new version of the widget now stores everything into $layout and then outputs it, the printf in the code linked above writes the date out before the rest of the information.

Please advise on how to modify the linked code to have the date appear after each entry in the list.
