I'm actually trying to generate a component diagram with PlantUml. Is it possible to define the relative position of the different components? What I want to define is: ComponentB is left from ComponentA. ComponentC is below ComponentA, ...

You can follow guidelines from here: Layout of grouping component
In general when you write connections like -> you just have to know that there is special notation for right arrow, left arrow, bottom arrow, top arrow: This has special meaning for plantUml:
-l->
-r->
-u->
-d->
It means to place arrow on the left or right or up or down if possible.
Lets imagine this diagram:
@startuml
node "My system" {
[A] -> [B]
[C] -> [B]
}
@enduml
This looks horrible, you can fix this by directing PlanUml with arrow directions.
@startuml
node "My system" {
[A] -d-> [B]
[C] -r-> [B]
}
@enduml
Will generate this:
