I don't see leading spaces at all in the sample. However, I do see that the cell is formatted with Custom formatting:

_-* #,##0_-;-* #,##0_-;_-* "-"??_-;_-@_-

The custom format has four sections separated  by semi-colon
Positive value  -  _-* #,##0_-
Negative value  -   -* #,##0_-
Zero value -  _-* "-"??_-
Text-  _-@_-

The combination of - and _ and * at the start of each section is forcing the format to stay right aligned.

To allow for comma and centre or left aligned use custom format:

#,##0_-;- #,##0_-;_-* "-"??_-;_-@_-
