It really is just a choice you have to make at that point. I don't think there's anything wrong with things being "off center" if it ultimately suits things mix wise.
I know some folks obsess over things being centered and "symmetrical" like that, and I don't understand it. I know that's not what you're saying, but I just had to mention it... crazy to me.
Many times if you soloed OHs from me, the snare may be off "center", but the tone and levels of the kit will ultimately be balanced. I know for some people that would drive them crazy, but I believe the balance of the whole kit is most important.
