Default Looking at the front of my Defender noticed wheels slightly off center.

Looking at the front of my Defender,wheels lined up perfectly straight.. noticed wheels slightly off center more towards the passenger side.Will adjusting the cross link between the chassis and the passenger side of the axle tube fix this?

That is normal with a 3 link/panhard setup. Since the panhard bar moves in an arc, it pushes the axle towards the passenger side as the suspension compresses. The axle is supposed to be centered in the middle of the suspension travel so it should be shifted towards the driver side at full extension and shifted towards the passenger side at full compression.

Excellent mechanical explanation..i did drop the shock spring preload to lower the vehicle for more scale appearance using some 108mm diameter tires..
