"the cranks (not OEM) are not centered" with respect to what? A published chain line dimension?

It seems to me that the spacers placed on the non drive side was done to allow better ft shifting and/or chain line. If the spacer was to be relocated to the ND side again will there be small ring/chainstay clearance? If so than that is your likely solution.

For many decades bikes had their crank arms off set to the drive side on purpose and riders didn't die. Andy
