not sure if this solution will make you happy since the protruding stem
seems to be the problem.

but generally you can write dynamics in an own context and align this
context where you like:

\score { 
  \new ChoirStaff << 
    \new Staff = "ss" \with { 
      instrumentName = \markup \center-column { "Soprano I" "Soprano II" } 
    } << 
      \new Voice = "soprano1" { \voiceOne \sopranoOne } 
      \new Voice = "soprano2" { \voiceTwo \sopranoTwo } 
    >>
    \new Lyrics = "lyrics1" \with { alignAboveContext = "ss" } \lyricsto
"soprano1" \sopranoOneVerse
    \new Lyrics = "lyrics2" \lyricsto "soprano2" \sopranoTwoVerse
    \new Dynamics \with { alignAboveContext = "lyrics1" } {
      s1 s4^\f s2 s4 s s8 s2 }
  >> 
}
maybe some tweaking of vertical distance is needed.
