Your formatter is giving you what you have asked for, not what you want.

I noted in your attributes the following:

>         <xsl:attribute name="display-align">after</xsl:attribute>

This property will give you what you are seeing: the display alignment of
each of your cells is to the after edge of the cell, not to the default
which is the before edge of the cell.

Either remove the property or override the property with
display-align="before" for your table header cells and they will align as
you desire.

I hope this helps.
