its usually in driver side vent near the door but you need a proper vent fit the boost gauge in

I was looking for a centre dash one a while ago but could only ever find a LHD version which angles the wrong way. Better off getting the outer vent, much easier to get hold of

If the vents are the same size...there are outer vent mounts for LH drive that would have the angle you seek for a center vent mount on a RH drive.
This is a LH side vent mount...if it would fit a center vent, it would have the correct angle for your center mount you seek: https://www.ecstuning.com/Volkswagen-Golf_V--2.0T/Interior/Gauges/ES2075349/

No mate, its bigger and slightly curved more. i was looking for a center one and gave up (Pretty Quickly) i fitted my drivers side gauge last night and its not as badly placed as you think.
i would still prefer it in the middle though so let me know if you have any luck  :happy2:
