Slick Carousel - how to change active slide position

Question

Hi I need to move the current active slide to the right a bit with padding-left . Doing so makes the slider jump a bit on each next slide.

How to fix this behavior?

HTML:

<div class="slick-center">
  <div>
    <img src="https://via.placeholder.com/260x150">
  </div>
  <div>
    <img src="https://via.placeholder.com/260x150">
  </div>
  <div>
    <img src="https://via.placeholder.com/260x150">
  </div>
</div>

CSS:

.slick-slide{
  width: 300px;
}
.slick-center .slick-current{
  padding-left: 90px;/*this makes slides jump*/
}

Setup:

$(function () {
    $('.slick-center').slick({
        infinite: true,
        autoplay: true,
        centerMode: true,
        centerPadding: '180px',
        slidesToShow: 1,
        slidesToScroll: 1,
        speed: 400,
        dots: false,
        prevArrow: false,
        nextArrow: false,
        variableWidth: true
    });
});

You could try using the transform attribute. You might even add transition effect for smoother animation.

 transform: translateX(90px);  
 transition: 1s ease-in-out;
