Added E3D hotend and bowden extruder - now it won't center

From first glance of my old direct drive and Hictop hotend, it looks like it lines up. But for the life of me, I cannot figure out why my print head won't center now when using the "Auto Home" on the printer.

Can anyone give me some suggestions?

What firmware are you using.
Post a link to your new configuration.h settings, with the added information we may be able to help you!

I'm using what came with it - unfortunately that part of configuration I'm very unfamiliar (read noob) with. Does it involve changing the configuration.h settings? Ugh, not even sure where to start with that part.

After looking at and measuring where the old head was and the new head is.. there is a 16mm difference on the X axis. Would it be safer for me to just use the G92 setting in gcode?
