Thank you for the help!

#bbpress-forums div.bbp-forum-author, #bbpress-forums div.bbp-topic-author, #bbpress-forums div.bbp-reply-author, #bbpress-forums div.bbp-search-author {
width: 80px !important;
}

The above code was in my themes style-bbpress.css

Simply removing that code from the .css file gave the author box proper padding on both sides without having to add any additional code.

#bbpress-forums div.bbp-forum-author a.bbp-author-name,
#bbpress-forums div.bbp-topic-author a.bbp-author-name,
#bbpress-forums div.bbp-reply-author a.bbp-author-name,
#bbpress-forums div.bbp-search-author a.bbp-author-name {
font-family: ‘Open Sans’, arial, sans-serif;
font-weight: 600;
line-height: 16px;
margin: 0;
width: 80px;
word-wrap: break-word;

Removing “width: 80px;” from the above code restored author name back to center.

Again, thank you for your help! The problem has been solved.
