Component way (default)
In app.component.html you just need to add your new button. Usually at the end of file.

Directive way
Your custom element somewhere in you application…
Important: (no style applied, everything is up to you. Of course I recommend position: fixed
, …)

>
↑ My Custom Element. ↑
</span>
