Aligning labels in highchart donut - node.js

Question

I'm trying to make a highchart donut with a legend on the side,
I'm really struggling to get the data labels to be more centered. At the moment each of them are in a different place,
an image of intended result:

Highcharts.chart('container', {
credits: { enabled: false },
chart: { height: 300, width: 500, animation: false },
title: {
align: 'center',
verticalAlign: 'middle',
text: 10,
y: 25,
x: 55,
style: { color: '#333333', fontSize: '72px', fontWeight:'bold'},
},
plotOptions: {
pie: {
dataLabels: {
enabled: true,
format: '{point.y}',
distance: -25,
style: { fontSize: '32px', textOutline: 0 },
},
animation: false,
showInLegend: true,
},
},
legend: {
layout: 'vertical',
verticalAlign: 'middle',
align: 'left',
symbolHeight: 25,
symbolRadius: 5,
itemMarginTop: 10,
itemMarginBottom: 10,
},
series: [
{
type: 'pie',
innerSize: '55%',
colors: ['rgb(212,33,71)', 'rgb(250,189,43)', 'rgb(60,168,74)'],
data: [['Category 1', 4], ['Category 2', 5], ['Category 3', 1]],
},
],
});

There is an issue reported on Highcharts github about donut labels position. Check it here: https://github.com/highcharts/highcharts/issues/9005.
I've changed some options and added custom text using Highcharts.SVGRenderer#text (dynamic sum of all values) on the donut center. Perhaps it will help you: https://jsfiddle.net/BlackLabel/2jmqext9/.
Code:
Highcharts.chart('container', {
credits: {
enabled: false
},
chart: {
height: 300,
width: 500,
animation: false,
events: {
load: function() {
var chart = this,
offsetLeft = -20,
offsetTop = 10,
x = chart.plotLeft + chart.plotWidth / 2 + offsetLeft,
y = chart.plotTop + chart.plotHeight / 2 + offsetTop,
value = 0;
chart.series[0].yData.forEach(function(point) {
value += point;
});
chart.renderer.text(value, x, y).add().css({
fontSize: '30px'
}).toFront();
}
}
},
plotOptions: {
pie: {
dataLabels: {
enabled: true,
color: '#fff',
format: '{point.y}',
distance: -25,
style: {
fontSize: '20px',
textOutline: 0
},
},
animation: false,
showInLegend: true,
},
},
legend: {
layout: 'vertical',
verticalAlign: 'middle',
align: 'left',
symbolHeight: 15,
symbolRadius: 5,
symbolPadding: 10,
itemMarginTop: 10,
itemMarginBottom: 10,
itemStyle: {
fontSize: '15px'
}
},
series: [{
type: 'pie',
innerSize: '55%',
colors: ['rgb(212,33,71)', 'rgb(250,189,43)', 'rgb(60,168,74)'],
data: [
['Category 1', 4],
['Category 2', 2],
['Category 3', 12]
],
}, ],
});
