I don't get it. In the top example the axis is at the overall center of the body but this is marked 'wrong'. In the bottom example the axis is off-center but it's marked 'right'. In the two examples on the right side the axis appears to be in the same place... what criteria are you using to call a location the 'center'?

I think he wants the center of rotation to be a little offset from the actual center (change the center of mass).

You should increase the densities of the triangles in front and/or decrease that of the triangles in the back so it will naturally rotate off-center.
