Handles, template, distances, symmetry - despair

Do the handles actually have to be exactly centered on the left and right sides of the drawers for the drawers to open straight, or would it not affect the function if they had, for example, 60% distance on the left and 40% on the right? (Putting aesthetics aside for this question.)

It also works well. If it does, it affects the lifespan over a long period.
