How to shift the whole graph made with TikZ library graphs?

Question

I would like to shift my graph a couple of cm to the left, as it overflows a bit on the right. I tried enclosing the \graph in scope, like so:

\begin{scope}[shift={(-10,0)}]
\graph[...]{...};
\end{scope}

The output looks the same. Here is a runnable example.

Edit: I tried the proposed solution using \hspace{-1cm} on the example I provided and it worked. It did not work on the actual thing. I suspect the reason for that being the picture overflowing on the right. I updated the toy example below to make the graph overflow the page on the right.

What's the purpose of the shift? (Centering the image on the page; synchronize with surrounding text; synchronize with another image, ...) — Heiko Oberdiek, Sep 04 '23 at 21:02
Sorry if that was not clear. It is to use a little bit of white space on the left in order to fit the picture on the page. Otherwise it overflows (shows truncated) on the right. — user443854, Sep 04 '23 at 21:13
So yeah, if I could center the image on the page, this would do it. — user443854, Sep 04 '23 at 21:14

You could temporarily disable the margins by using columns:

\tikzset{%

  % Specifications for style of nodes:
  base/.style = {rectangle, rounded corners=0.5mm, draw=black,

  outerbox/.style={rectangle, draw=black, dashed}
  task/.style = {base, circle}

Your graph is wider that \textwidth, consequently it protrude right border of frames text area. This problem you can solve on two ways:

make graph narrower, for example reducing distances between nodes in graphs (which are already small)
locally enlarge width of text area in frame.

For the second possibility you can use adjustwidth of changepage package:

                %matrix, 
                %positioning,
                %shapes.arrows, svg.path
                }

Off-topic:

it is sufficient to load each libraries just one times
for this particular example only graphs library is needed
your graph use only t style definition

so all aforementioned cases in the above MWE are comments off.
