Synonyms of "Centre" and their differences
Q:

Q:
What is the difference between centre and middle ?
A:
Middle is generally used as a more vague term - eg “I’m in the middle of writing an essay” doesn’t necessarily mean you’re exactly halfway through writing the essay, it just means you’re not really at the start or the end - you’re in the middle.
Centre is more specific - if something is in the centre of a circle it’s directly at the innermost point.
In conversation though, middle tends to be used slightly more informally than centre, so even if something isn’t directly in the centre, if it’s quite close to the centre then this would be the word you would use anyway.
In your example either centre or middle would work well. ‘Centre’ sounds a little bit better but if it’s not actually that close to being in the centre then go for ‘middle’
Hope this helps😊
