How do I centralize the text inside a button

Question

I'm building my new website on SquareSpace, and wanted something a bit more fancy for my landing page.

I got this button here ("Button 49," from https://getcssscan.com/css-buttons-examples).

My problem now is getting the text centered and being able to adjust the size.

I tried this text-align but nothing changed, also tried to mess with the line-height but thinks just got funky; and for the size of the button, I can mess with the inputs there but if I do that with the text not centred it gets weird.

I'm using a custom font, but you can use Arial to visualize.

Any help is welcome, I don't know code language or how to explain my problem, but thanks for reading.

As you can see on the image, there is a something wrong on the red circle and the text seems a bit down IMAGE OF BUTTON

Here's my current code:

button,
button::after {
  width: 380px;
  height: 86px;
  font-size: 36px;
  font-family: 'Industry Inc Base';
  background: linear-gradient(45deg, transparent 5%, #fff 5%);
  border: 0;
  color: #000;
  letter-spacing: 3px;
  text-align: center;
  line-height: 80px;
  box-shadow: 8px 0px 0px #282828;
  outline: transparent;
  position: relative;
}

button::after {
  --slice-0: inset(50% 50% 50% 50%);
  --slice-1: inset(80% -6px 0 0);
  --slice-2: inset(50% -6px 30% 0);
  --slice-3: inset(10% -6px 85% 0);
  --slice-4: inset(40% -6px 43% 0);
  --slice-5: inset(80% -6px 5% 0);
  content: 'ENTER';
  display: block;
  position: absolute;
  top: 0;
  left: 0;
  right: 0;
  bottom: 0;
  background: linear-gradient(45deg, transparent 3%, #FF5E1A 3%, #7b00ff 5%, #FF5E1A 5%);
  text-shadow: -3px -3px 0px #7b00ff, 3px 3px 0px #FF5E1A;
  clip-path: var(--slice-0);
}

button:hover::after {
  animation: 1s glitch;
  animation-timing-function: steps(2, end);
}

@keyframes glitch {
  0% {
    clip-path: var(--slice-1);
    transform: translate(-20px, -10px);
  }
  10% {
    clip-path: var(--slice-3);
    transform: translate(10px, 10px);
  }
  20% {
    clip-path: var(--slice-1);
    transform: translate(-10px, 10px);
  }
  30% {
    clip-path: var(--slice-3);
    transform: translate(0px, 5px);
  }
  40% {
    clip-path: var(--slice-2);
    transform: translate(-5px, 0px);
  }
  50% {
    clip-path: var(--slice-3);
    transform: translate(5px, 0px);
  }
  60% {
    clip-path: var(--slice-4);
    transform: translate(5px, 10px);
  }
  70% {
    clip-path: var(--slice-2);
    transform: translate(-10px, 10px);
  }
  80% {
    clip-path: var(--slice-5);
    transform: translate(20px, -10px);
  }
  90% {
    clip-path: var(--slice-1);
    transform: translate(-10px, 0px);
  }
  100% {
    clip-path: var(--slice-1);
    transform: translate(0);
  }
}

The text 'Enter' is centered inside your button, so that's fine. Text is centered by default inside a button, so you can leave out text-align: center; in your CSS.

One way to center your button on the page is with CSS flex layout. This works by wrapping the content in a flex container (see CSS code below). This can be the p element you first had, but as this is not really a paragraph, I would use a div element.

Concerning the 'glitch text' displaying lower than the button text, this is likely due to the font indeed. I changed it to font-family: 'sans-serif'; and it looks fine to me.

Finally, please note that it is illegal to wrap a button inside anchor tags. You have to put your anchor tags (i.e. your 'link') inside the button tags.

div {
  font-family: 'sans-serif';
  display: flex;
  justify-content: center;
}

button,
button::after {
  width: 380px;
  height: 86px;
  font-size: 36px;
  background: linear-gradient(45deg, transparent 5%, #fff 5%);
  border: 0;
  color: #000;
  letter-spacing: 3px;
  line-height: 80px;
  box-shadow: 8px 0px 0px #282828;
  outline: transparent;
  position: relative;
}

button::after {
  --slice-0: inset(50% 50% 50% 50%);
  --slice-1: inset(80% -6px 0 0);
  --slice-2: inset(50% -6px 30% 0);
  --slice-3: inset(10% -6px 85% 0);
  --slice-4: inset(40% -6px 43% 0);
  --slice-5: inset(80% -6px 5% 0);
  content: 'ENTER';
  display: block;
  position: absolute;
  top: 0;
  left: 0;
  right: 0;
  bottom: 0;
  background: linear-gradient(45deg, transparent 3%, #FF5E1A 3%, #7b00ff 5%, #FF5E1A 5%);
  text-shadow: -3px -3px 0px #7b00ff, 3px 3px 0px #FF5E1A;
  clip-path: var(--slice-0);
}

button:hover::after {
  animation: 1s glitch;
  animation-timing-function: steps(2, end);

@keyframes glitch {
