According to my notes, the CRTC settings for a 50Hz PAL monitor are:

Business mode
   63, 40, 50, 8, 32, 16, 25, 29, 0, 8, 0, 0, 16, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0

Graphic mode
   63, 40, 50, 8, 36, 17, 25, 32, 0, 7, 0, 0, 16, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0

register 2 is the horizontal sync position.
register 3 lower 4 bits are the horizontal sync width.
You start counting registers at 0, so registers 2 and 3 contain 50 and 8.
Adjusting these registers will affect the horizontal position of your text
on the screen.

If this does not fix it, then there is too much capacitance on your 
horizontal sync circuit, or there is too much delay in the circuit.
