I've used something like this in the past:

%%%%
\version "2.22.0"

music = \chordmode {
  \override ChordName.X-offset =
  #(lambda (grob)
    (let* ((sten (ly:grob-property grob 'stencil))
           (xex (ly:stencil-extent sten X))
           (width (interval-length xex)))
     (* -0.5 (max 0 (- width 2)))))

  c1 c:7 c:m7 c':m6/ees
}
<< \new ChordNames \music \new Staff \music >>
%%%%
