Embedding Replay works fine, BUT....

I'm building a client portal so my clients can manage their videos. I've set up a page to embed a video so they can review it, and the player embeds just fine. However, the video itself is pushed off to the right inside the player, so there's a big blank space to the left, and the right 30% of the video is outside of the player. How do I get it so the video is centered in the player?
I've tried using both embed code and iframe, and get the same result no matter which one I try. I did look up the DB Embedder, but it says it doesn't work with audio or video.

    Hi BrucePPV,

    Embedding video can sometimes involve specific configurations or requirements that vary depending on the setup. Unfortunately, we don’t have additional guidance to offer for your particular use case.

    We recommend exploring additional solutions or adjustments to achieve the desired result.

    I've tried adjusting the width and height settings of the player. I thought I'd found a setting that worked for a week or so, then it went back out of center even though I hadn't changed anything. So far I've spent hours trying to get this to work.

    Hi BrucePPV

    If the video appears off-center, it’s possible that the player itself is not centered correctly within the iframe and may be extending beyond its boundaries.

    We recommend reviewing and adjusting your CSS settings to ensure both the iframe and the player are aligned properly. Experiment with the dimensions, padding, and alignment styles to see what works best for your setup.
