Hello John,

A possible approach to achieve this might be by using a 'CreationFilter'.

You could read about it at the following link: http://help.infragistics.com/Help/NetAdvantage/WinForms/2012.1/CLR2.0/html/Win_Creation_Filter.html.
Here are some topics from our community which could also help you: http://community.infragistics.com/forums/t/34485.aspx, http://forums.infragistics.com/forums/t/47561.aspx http://community.infragistics.com/forums/t/58186.aspx, http://community.infragistics.com/forums/t/9989.aspx and http://community.infragistics.com/forums/t/50234.aspx.
The above approach is not so recommended, because it features element's resizing, creating or removing and could lead to some unexpected behaviors and besides - you will not be following Microsoft's UX Interface Guidelines for ribbons.
Please do not hesitate to ask if something comes up.

I would like to know what you did to shorten the RibbonPagerAreaUIElement and what you did to increase the width of the ToolbarUIElement.

Looks like it already is leftaligned, it's just that the UIElement for the TabItemToolBar is on the right side of the screen.
