I am using the following to insert page numbers in my footer:

\pagestyle{fancy}
    \fancyhf{} % clear all header and footer fields
    \fancyfoot{}
    \renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0pt}
    \renewcommand{\footrulewidth}{0pt}

However, it is inserting them a little bit left-aligned and not in the perfect center of the page like this:

How do I align things properly?

\fancyfoot{C}{\thepage} should do it. – Bernard Apr 20 '20 at 20:21
Welcome to TeX - LaTeX! Welcome to TeX.SX! Please help us help you and add a minimal working example (MWE) that illustrates your problem. Reproducing the problem and finding out what the issue is will be much easier when we see compilable code, starting with \documentclass{...} and ending with \end{document}.`` – Alessandro Cuttin Apr 20 '20 at 20:59
Did you change the page geometry after loading fancyhdr? Once created, fancyhdr never changes the width. You can however fake it using \makebox. – John Kormylo Apr 21 '20 at 03:03
This question may be helpful: geometry, fancyhdr: \fancyfoot[C]{\thepage} is not really centered – barbara beeton Apr 21 '20 at 16:32
