I'm on Ubunut 17.04 with Gnome shell 3.24.2. Ever since the fresh install, the clock got placed to the right side of the top panel. I have not found a way to move it to the center. I'm aware of this and this post, but they both didn't help. For one - I don't have system-monitor extension installed and I can't find the extension in /.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions or /usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions/ that causes this behavior in the first place.

Is the clock at the right side default in 17.04 or is this just my system? Seems a terrible choice.

I just encountered the same problem, and found a fix.

In /usr/share/gnome-shell/modes there's a classic.json file that holds the configuration for the current shell -

{
    "parentMode": "user",
    "stylesheetName": "gnome-classic.css",
    "enabledExtensions": [LIST_OF_STUFF],
    "panel": { "left": ["activities", "appMenu"],
               "center": [],
               "right": ["a11y", "keyboard", "dateMenu", "aggregateMenu"]
             }
}

All you need to do is to move the "dateMenu" item to the center. I also had the Window List extension enabled after every boot, and removing it here solved the problem.
