Adjusting Chain-line on press-in bottom bracket

I haven't taken it apart yet, but would be very appreciative of any advice.

As I recall, the spindle has some collars on it. Are the collars what keeps the spindle in alignment? If the collars are loosened, will the spindle adjust side to side?

Thanks in advance.

Yep, the locking collars hold the spindle in place.

Loosen both collars, gently give a tap on one side of the spindle/crank to position, then pressure the collars towards the center of the bb and tighten down.

cheers,
