You can use the Location property.

First, you'll need to add the .net reference for System.Drawing to your project. Then, you'll need to add using System.Drawing; to the .cs

Point xRef = driver.FindElement(By()).Location;
Point xRef = driver.FindElement(By()).Location;

Then you can reference Point.X and Point.Y to determine coordinates, and compare to other references.

if(xRef.Y < yRef.Y && xRef.X > yRef.X)
