Why it doesn't align in the center properly?

Screenshot_20230116_064200

When I Align horizontal centers + Align vertical centers 2 shapes together it is not centered at all. Is there something I can do to solve it ? I just started on Figma so I could miss something in the settings…Thank you to take time to reply.
Regards.

    Turn off “Snap to pixel grid” and align your objects.

    Hello! The problem here is that the red circle has 10px diameter and and the outside circle 17px diameter. If you make the outside circle 18px you could align the 2 shapes just fine. This happens when working with few pixel shapes. If you increase those 2 shapes proportionally and you try to align them you’ll see that this error becomes unnoticeable and it seems as the’re perfectly aligned.
