Difficult aligning nodes

Good day

On some occasions I find it difficult to align two nodes next to each other, as seen in the attached image.

I like to keep my workflow and clean and professional looking as possible. As such, I like keeping my nodes in-line whenever possible. Sometimes when I select a new node and drag it into my workflow it refuses to snap in-line with the preceding node. It’s either one “increment” above or below the centre. I’ve tried ctrl+shift+arrow keys, which moves a node one increment at a time but it will still snap one increment above or below the centre.

Has anyone found a fix for this? My workflows contain many of these instances and it bothers me whenever I see it.
