Flowlayout left alignement in collection view

I'm currently trying to get a left alignement on my Collection View. I'm using a FlowLayout because I need the EstimatedSize property that allows me to resize the cell (the labels inside don't always have the same width). Here's the code : 

    itemCollectionView.collectionViewLayout .invalidateLayout()

    if let flowLayout = itemCollectionView.collectionViewLayout as? UICollectionViewFlowLayout {
        flowLayout.estimatedItemSize = CGSize(width: 150, height: 35)
        flowLayout.sectionInset = UIEdgeInsetsMake(8, 8, 0, 8)
        flowLayout.minimumInteritemSpacing = 0

Here is the result

I'm trying to set the left inset to 8 but it doesn't work, it centers the element. With multiple elements, it does the same and create horrible gaps betweens cells.

Thank you for your help !
