    \set fingeringOrientations = #'(up)
    \override Fingering #'staff-padding = #'()
    \override Fingering #'add-stem-support = ##f

You also need to enclose the note and fingering in a chord construct: 
<c-1>2.

The same applies for Strokefinger and StringNumber indications. This is 
documented in s.1.7.1 of the Notation Reference.
