Adjust your monitor's horizontal position setting. Different
operating systems will frequently produce different video signal
timings even at the same resolution, resulting in problems such as
your shifted image.
If you can't adjust the monitor (which could be the case if you're
using an Apple monitor), try using the fbset command to tweak image
timing:
fbset -move right
(it also supports left, up, and down)
