I'm attempting to add a bookmarklet to my wop website. The issue is that I would like to have the bookmarklet (highlighted in red in the picture below) centered as if it did not have the arrow sticking out the side. If I change the width of the bgimage in the css, to be the same as the below indented box thingies, it centers how I would like it to. But, it cuts off a bit of the arrow. So, my question is, how can I center the bookmarklet as if it had the width of the other indented box thingies.

enter image description here

bookmarklet CSS:

#bookmarklet {
    background-image:url('images/bookmarklet.png');
    width:425px;
    height:175px;
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    margin-left: auto;
    margin-right: auto;
    padding-bottom:8px;
}

I want the bookmarklet to be centered as if it were(without cutting out the side of the arrow):

#resultbg {
    background-image:url('images/resultbg.png');
    width:404px;
    height:347px;
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    margin-left: auto;
    margin-right: auto;
    padding-top:8px;
}

Any help is greatly appreciated! Thank you(:
