The Internals Reference lists that DynamicText.X-offset is:

  ly:self-alignment-interface::aligned-on-x-parent

The result of that procedure depends on properties like self-alignment-X 
and parent-alignment-X, which are likely what you would want to try 
adjusting first before modifying or setting X-offset directly.
