Struggling to align Jssor slider perfectly within a Bootstrap container

Struggling to center my slider images while using bootstrap with jssor. Despite trying to zero out the margins in the code below, the images within the slider remain aligned to the left side of the container. Any suggestions on how I can properly center the images inside a bootstrap container?

<!-- topconent -->
<div class="container topcontent">

    <div class="row">
            <div class="col-lg-12 text-center">
                    <h1>This is my header</h1>

    <div id="slider1_container" 
    style="position: relative; margin: 0px auto;">
        <!-- Slides Container -->
        <div u="slides" style="cursor: move; position: absolute; overflow: hidden;
        margin 0px auto; width: 630px; height: 420px;">
            <div><img u="image" src="img/mainslider/img1.jpg" /></div>
            <div><img u="image" src="img/mainslider/img2.jpg" /></div>
        </div>
    </div>

</div>

After some trial and error, I was able to solve the issue at hand. It turns out my struggle was mainly due to my lack of experience with CSS and infrequent use of it.

To properly center the slider, I utilized bootstrap containers:

<!-- topconent -->
<div class="container topcontent">

    <div class="row">
        <div class="col-lg-12 text-center">
            <h1>This is my header</h1>

            <!-- centered container -->
            <div class="col-lg-8 col-lg-offset-2 text-center">

                <div id="slider1_container" style="position: relative; 
                top: 0px; left: 0px; width: 600px; height: 300px;">
                    <!-- Slides Container -->
                    <div u="slides" style="cursor: move; position: absolute;
                    overflow: hidden; left: 0px; top: 0px; width: 600px; height: 300px;">
                        <div><img u="image" src="img/mainslider/img1.jpg" /></div>
                        <div><img u="image" src="img/mainslider/img2.jpg" /></div>
                    </div>
                </div>

                <p class="lead">More info</p>

            </div>
            <!-- /.centered container -->

        </div>
        <!-- /.container -->

    </div>
    <!-- /.row -->

</div>
<!-- /.topcontent -->

I initially thought that the slider wasn't centered because the image didn't span the entire container, causing it to shift towards the left. By following the guidance on the jssor website, I made the image scale appropriately, resolving the alignment issue. Although I had seen the script before, I overlooked its purpose as I focused on centering the image rather than making it responsive. The script also maintains the aspect ratio effectively.
