The Corvette logoed centre cap. Maybe I should use the word, "align"...
Attention to detail...

If your're talking about where the C8 emblem is attached to the center cap itself, it appears to be aligned the only way it can be. All 3 points are touching the exterior edge of the cap. The only thing that could be done is make the crossed flags smaller.
If you're talking about how it's popped into the wheel opening, pop it off with the tools above and put it where you want it.

I'd rather the assembly techs focus use their time on important matters, as opposed to something as trivial as this.

Haha! The valve stem is not even aligned relative to the spokes! So, would you align the center cap with the valve stem or the spokes? I would suggest removing your wheels to pop the center caps instead of scratching it as you try to remove it from the face of the wheel. While you're at it, measure the offsets, center hole diameter and bolt patterns. Don't have sleepless nights over this.

It is massive overkill to remove the wheels just to adjust your center caps. The soft plastic trim tools shown in post #2 above will not scratch anything. The tiny prongs will slip right in and you work your way around the cap to pull it off.
It's not something I care about, but if it floats your boat, it's a 5 minute or less adjustment.
