What do you mean?  How do you center it in the balancier window?  You
accomplish that by slightly bending the center pin that holds the jack in
place.  To do that you set the side of the wippen foot adjacent to the
center pin on the edge of a hard surface (like a bench vise) so that the
vise supports only the foot and not the jack itself.  Then tap on the top of
the jack lightly with a small hammer to bend the center pin.  The jack will
move in the direction of the side being supported.
