Center speaker placement

Unfortunately I have a media niche at the front of the room that is off center. The room is 16 feet wide, but instead of my center speaker at the middle 8 feet from the sides, I will have to place it at a spot 5.5 feet from one side.
Question: Do I place the center channel over the TV? or do I place it in the center of the room. The difference is definitely noticeable visually, but from a sound perspective, will it make that much of a difference?
Thanks in advance!

In line with the TV is the way to go. Otherwise the voices will sound like they are coming from the ceiling, or floor. One center speaker on line will not work either unless you don't mind the speaker in front of the screen.
The answer is to have two center channel speakers on both sides of the TV.
