Highcharts pie chart dynamically changes size

I am having an issue with a pie chart I created in highcharts.

Depending on the placement of the data labels the actual chart will grow or shrink.

We need the pie chart to stay the same size so is there a way to keep the pie size constant and force the labels to fit around it or do I just have to place the labels inside each slice?

Unforutantely it is default behaviour and you cannot force this case, so you can use only @Sualkcin suggestion. – Sebastian Bochan

You will have to set a fixed size for the pie chart. Can be a percentage or a pixel value. For example:

plotOptions: {
        pie: {
            size: 100
        }
    },
