I had to resort to several css edits to get what I wanted and I think this edit:
article.hentry .article-inner, #breadcrumbs-nav, body.woocommerce.woocommerce-page #breadcrumbs-nav, #content-masonry article.hentry .article-inner, .pad-container {
margin-left: 8%;
}
helped the situation, but then I had to make other css edits so the single column pages centered correctly, like on this page
.observations {
padding-right: 100px;
padding-left: 50px;
}
I am still not sure why I had to do those extra edits with css but it does work. Took a long time to figure out.
