Again, you don't need the bracket set directly in the middle. You just need to be able to have the bracket long enough to where you can put the TV along the middle.

The back of your TV should have threaded holes for parts that are actually going to hang onto your bracket. You just need to make sure that whatever width that is is enough for where you can potentially mount your bracket in the desired location.

Thanks for all the responses. I have looked at longer mounts and trying to figure out a way to get it in the middle. It is just a really funky layout and closest stud is so far away from center that it doesn't give me as much play as you would think.

we've moved 4x in the last 10 years and so i think i'm up to about 16 TV mounting jobs so far.

none of them had studs in the right place.

you want to look for mounts on amazon that are designed to slide the TV left and right:

However, you will need to see how far the tv is going to have to slide to make sure the mount isn't visible if the studs are that far from center. you'll need to do some back-of-the-napkin math to factor how far it needs to slide along w/ the VESA pattern to ensure part of the mount isn't showing.
