Object centering in touch game

I recently made a touch based brick breaker game. Unfortunately when i start the game the paddle start all the way at the left side of the screen. The game is still playable but it looks ridiculous and appearance can make or break a game. also for some reason my win/loss events aren't working. As the .capx is to large to attach I have posted a dropbox link to it.

see your previous post https://www.scirra.com/forum/how-do-i-use-a-certain-touch-option-to-do_t97786 concerning bat position.

I added a global variable called "touchHere".

On start of layout I set touchHere to half the window width.

When timescale is not 0 I set the paddle's X to touchHere.

When in touch I update touchHere with Touch.X

This seemed to work. Image attached for clarity.

thanks very much
