I (not an expert in any related field) imagine it could go either way as the moon's position isn't tied to the sun's.

Well, the moons absolute position sort of is, in that it orbits earth which orbits the sun.

They’re related, but they’re not always in the same place relative to each other (there’s not always an eclipse)
