How do I get the arrow to leave from the top middle instead of from inside the highlighted text?

You don't need to manually add a `tikzmark`, instead you can accesses the node you defined with `\tikzmarkin{a}... \tikzmarkend{a}`. This is automatically located at the top left of the box:

```
\documentclass{beamer}

\usepackage[beamer,customcolors]{hf-tikz}
\usepackage{tikz}

\begin{document}

\begin{frame}[fragile]
text $\tikzmarkin<1>{a} text \tikzmarkend{a}$ text 
\begin{tikzpicture}[remember picture, overlay]
\fill[red] (a.north) circle (0.05);
\fill[red] (a.south) circle (0.05);
\fill[red] (a.east) circle (0.05);
\fill[red] (a.west) circle (0.05);
\fill[red] (a) circle (0.05);
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{frame}

\end{document}
```

If you would like to shift the start of the arrow further right, you could use the tikz `calc` library:

You can also use a `\tikzmarknode` and its `north` anchor.
