'Off-center X-Axis in Seaborn
I'm having an issue getting my boxplot to align with my x axis labels. I've tried adjusting the size of the chart, but the data points still look a little off. I appreciate any help!
This is the current chart:

It's hard to tell without an MCVE, But I'm guessing it's because you're using two categorical variables; x, and hue. This creates a so called "nested" (search for the key-word "smoke") box-plot, and if one of the categories is empty in some sense might cause the observed off-set.
Again, only guessing 'cause that's what you gave us.
Good luck!

This misalignment can happen when the hue argument is set.
You can add the dodge=False argument to the sns.boxplot function to keep boxplots aligned with the x-axis labels.
In your example, it would look like this:
sns.boxplot(x=df["Groups"], y=df["Rate per Month"], hue=df["Hours per Month"], dodge=False)
Description of the dodge parameter from the the seaborn.boxplot documentation:
dodge: bool, optional
When hue nesting is used, elements should be shifted along the categorical axis.
Example from the seaborn.boxplot documentation.
