You have to add the following to your file (it should
probably be there by default):
\layout{
 ...
 \context{
   \PianoStaff
   \accepts "FiguredBass"

Put it inside the \figures{...}. The setting will not solve the
problem you described above, it will just make sure that
the figures are aligned at the bottom line instead of the
top line.
