Hi @simoel

Go to Online store > Themes > Customize > Header > Desktop logo position > Middle left and save setting.

Then go Online store > Themes > Edit code > find and open theme.liquid, add this code below under element

@media (min-width: 990px) {
.header--middle-left {
grid-template-columns: 8fr auto 1fr !important;
}
}
