you won't gain from shifting the R&P. The shaft is longer on the passenger side to position the tie rod pivot points correctly while the box is mounted in the stock position. You will have to shorten the passenger side end of the shaft to match the drivers side otherwise you pivot points will be off.
The first pic shows a R&P with the shaft centered in the box . The box is centered on the mount. you can see the stock mounting hole to the left. you can see the different end lengths
the second pic shows the box with the shaft cut equal on both sides. The old stock tie rod end was reattached to measure for the pivot point.
The third pic is the finished R&P. The clevis ends were made with the correct length to place the pivot point in correct location in relation to a-arm pivot points This box also has 4 extra teeth cut into each side of the shaft to give longer shaft travel for a tighter turning radius.
Moving the box to center was done because it's in a single seat yerf. For a stock frame I wouldn't go through the trouble.
