What does "put" mean here? Do you mean the initial position of the cursor or do you define the "Data" property of the uitable?

Starting in R2019b, you can specify table text alignment using addStyle. Create a style object with a specified HorizontalAlignment value using uistyle. You can then add the style to the whole table, or to specific rows, columns, or cells.
For example:
fig = uifigure;
t = uitable(fig,"Data",magic(3));
s = uistyle("HorizontalAlignment","center");
addStyle(t,s)

and remember to set a monospaced font.
uitable supports HTML, but it is not easy to get it to center items. Supposing you have a cell array of strings STRINGS, then:
numpixels = 50;
cells_for_table = strcat(sprintf('<html><tr align=center><td width=%d>', numpixels), STRINGS(:));
set(handles.uitable1, 'Data', cells_for_table);
