Try giving some more detail about the specifics of your problem and what you've tried. It's not clear exactly what the screenshot is showing and what you're trying to achieve

a pandas DataFrame is an in memory table structure so has no concept of alignment. It looks like you're displaying it in some way but not clear in your question/screenshot how this is being done. So it's likely a display setting you need to change

I think you can just remove the leading spaces.
df.Description = df.Description.apply(lambda row: row.lstrip(' '))
