Center point labels between ticks (Polar Area Chart JS)

Question

I'm using Chart JS in which I have a polar area chart (see image https://i.sstatic.net/f1CQs.jpg) I want the point labels to be centered between the ticks. I have found solutions that only seem to work with bar charts that have an X and Y axis by using.

xAxes: [{
            gridLines: {
                offsetGridLines: true
            }
        ]} 

But this does not seem to work when using a polar area chart.

My code is

import React, { Component } from "react";
import Chart from "chart.js";

export default class OrdersFufilledChart extends Component {
  OrdersFufilledChart = React.createRef();

  componentDidMount() {
    const OrdersFufilledChart = this.OrdersFufilledChart.current.getContext(
      "2d"
    );

    new Chart(OrdersFufilledChart, {
      type: "polarArea",
        data: {
            datasets: [
                {
                    data: [342, 323, 333, 352, 361, 299, 272, 423, 425, 400, 382, 363],
                    backgroundColor: ["#57C5C8", "#57C5C8", "#57C5C8", "#57C5C8", "#57C5C8", "#ff0931", "#ff0931","#57C5C8","#57C5C8","#57C5C8","#57C5C8","#57C5C8"],
                    borderWidth: 4,
                    hoverBorderColor: "white",
                }
            ],
        labels: [
          "JAN",
          "FEB",
          "MAR",
          "APR",
          "MAY",
          "JUN",
          "JUL",
          "AUG",
          "SEP",
          "OCT",
          "NOV",
          "DEC"
        ],

      },
        options: {

            responsive: true,
            plugins: {
                datalabels: {
                    display: false,
                },

            },
            cutoutPercentage: 20,
            legend: {
                display: false
            },
            layout: {
                padding: 0,

            },
            scale: {
                scaleLabel: {
                    display: true
                },

           ticks: {
            max: 450,
            maxTicksLimit: 1,
                    display: false,

          },
          angleLines: {
            display: true
          },
            pointLabels: {
                display: true
            }
          },

      }
    });
  }
  render() {
    return (
      <div>
        <canvas
          id="OrdersFufilledChart"
          ref={this.OrdersFufilledChart}
          width={360}
          height={360}
        />
      </div>
    );
  }
}

Any insight on how I can do this or pointers in the right direction will be greatly appreciated.

EDIT

I'm looking for something like this with the labels between inbetween.

Answer 1

What about using the datalabels-plugin for that?

I guess you saw my other answer where I used this plugin because your code has many similarities to mine.

I improved my code so it's responsive now. The labels are even animated. I don't share OP's concerns of the other question (offtopic: can somebody correct this genitive here? I know it's wrong...) with cluttered labels in this case because of the small 3-char-labels.
