Aligning a ChipGroup with an ImageView using ConstraintLayout

Question

I want to center align a ChipGroup beside an ImageView. Here is my XML:

...

    <androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content">

        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/title"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:gravity="center"
            android:textSize="24sp"
            android:textStyle="bold"
            app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
            app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
            app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent" />

        <ImageView
            android:id="@+id/locationIcon"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_marginStart="16dp"
            android:layout_marginLeft="16dp"
            android:layout_marginTop="8dp"
            app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
            app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="@id/title"
            app:srcCompat="@drawable/ic_location_on_black_24dp" />

        <com.google.android.material.chip.ChipGroup
            android:id="@+id/locationChips"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_marginStart="16dp"
            android:layout_marginLeft="16dp"
            app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="@+id/locationIcon"
            app:layout_constraintStart_toEndOf="@id/locationIcon"
            app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="@id/locationIcon">

        </com.google.android.material.chip.ChipGroup>

    </androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>

...

Expected Result:

Actual Result:

As you can see, the chips are not aligning and instead are on top of the title text and the last chip also overflows if the text is of a certain length. How can I fix this? Also, I have found that if the ChipGroup is constrained to the parent instead, the last chip does not overflow.

Please remove ChipGroup bottom constraint and apply end constraint with width = "0dp"

It will display like below image.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

    <TextView

        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"

        android:textSize="24sp"
        android:textStyle="bold"
        app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent" />

    <ImageView
