Set position of columns in Beamer (R markdown)

Question

I am creating a RMarkdown presentation using Szeged as beamer type. Does anyone know how to set the position of the columns so that there is less space between them? I have the following output:

the code:

---
title: |
    | Text

author: |
        | Name
        | email
        |
        
date: date

output:
  beamer_presentation:
    theme: Szeged
    slide_level: 2
    includes:
      in_header: header.tex
    keep_tex: true

linkcolor: false
---

```{r setup, include=FALSE}
knitr::opts_chunk$set(echo = FALSE)
```

But I would the columns to have less space between them so that they are more central, otherwise the text does not fit. Any ideas?

You can set the width of the columns:

---
title: |
    | Text

author: |
        | Name
        | email
        |
        
date: date

output:
  beamer_presentation:
    theme: Szeged
    slide_level: 2
    includes:
      in_header: header.tex
    keep_tex: true
---

```{r setup, include=FALSE}
knitr::opts_chunk$set(echo = FALSE)
```
