when positioned in the centre


Explanation:
Einstellung is used here in the sense of 'position'.
(For example, 90°-Einstellung means '90° position').

The term has been placed in brackets to signify that it simply qualifies the preceding im Mittelraum outside the brackets.

The plural ending -en is kind of confusing, so I suggest that you bypass the plural by translating the bracketed term as 'that is, when positioned in the centre'.
