SwiftUI: Absolute positioning of text on screen

Am updating a compass view from UIKit to SwiftUI. The original looks like this:

But haven't worked out how to display the text, currently nothing:

This is the code that I am using:

struct DisplayDirections: Shape {

    func path(in rect: CGRect) -> Path {

        var path = Path()

        let outerRadius = 134.0

        var farX = 0.0

        var farY = 0.0

        let offset = 16.0

        var degree = 0.0

        var radians = 0.0

        for result in ["S", "SW", "W", "NW", "N", "NE", "E", "SE"] {

            radians = (CGFloat(degree) * .pi / 180.0)

            farX = outerRadius + cos(radians) * CGFloat(outerRadius) + offset

            farY = outerRadius + sin(radians) * CGFloat(outerRadius) + offset

            Text(result)

                .font(.title)

                .foregroundColor(.black)

                .background(.red)

                .position(x: farX, y: farY)

                .rotationEffect(.degrees(degree))

                .fixedSize()

            degree = degree + 45.0

            print(result) // Just to get some output so I know the loop is working

        }

        return path

    }

}

What am I doing wrong?
