Glad to hear it's working.  

If you run into something like this in the future, I do recommend
checking for problems with the way the items are set up in the panel.
For example, another possible cause of the problem is that there should
have been an expanding separator in the middle of the panel, but it was
missing or set to not expand.

Also, you can reset your Xfce configuration by moving
$HOME/.config/xfce4 out of the way, then logging out and logging in
again.  (I recommend moving it out of the way, rather than deleting it,
so that you can put it back if you need to.)

best regards,
